Question 16 • Chemistry

Which procedure could a student use to examine an intensive property of a rectangular block of wood?

Answer
A
Find the mass.
B
Measure the volume.
C
Determine the density.
D
Record the length.

Explanation

An intensive property does not depend on the amount or size of the material. Density is intensive because it is the mass per unit volume and stays the same for the same kind of wood, while mass, volume, and length depend on the block’s size. Therefore, determine the density.
