Question 3 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Two students are given two different size blocks of the same substance and are instructed to determine the properties of the substance. Which statement describes a property that will be the same for both students?

Answer
A
length because it is an extensive property
B
mass because it is an extensive property
C
boiling point because it is an intensive property
D
volume because it is an intensive property

Explanation

Boiling point is an intensive property, so it does not depend on how much of a substance is present. Both blocks are made of the same substance and should have the same boiling point. Length, mass, and volume depend on the size or amount of the sample, so they can differ.
