Question

Which of the following is/are intensive property/ies? A. Volume, B. Density, C. Energy, D. Pressure, E. Molar heat Capacity

• A. A, B, C, D only
• B. B, D, E only
• C. E only
• D. A, C only

Hint:

If you "cut the system in half," properties that stay the same (like Temperature or Density) are intensive.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept Intensive properties are physical properties of a system that do not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.

Step 2: Meaning Extensive properties, like Volume and Energy, change when the amount of substance changes.

Step 3: Analysis Density is a ratio of two extensive properties (Mass/Volume), making it intensive. Pressure and Molar heat capacity (Heat capacity per mole) are also independent of the total quantity of matter.

Step 4: Conclusion Properties B (Density), D (Pressure), and E (Molar heat Capacity) are intensive, while A and C are extensive. Final Answer: (B)
