A property of matter that depends only on the type of matter in a sample and not on the amount is
intensive
Because the more water you boil the more time it will take (other conditions are constant) the boiling point of water is an extensive physical property.
False
Boiling point is not an intensive physical property.
False
Melting point is an intensive physical property.
True
Because mass and volume are both extensive properties, density (mass/volume) is also an extensive property.
False
Because the amount (n) and the mass (m) of a substance are both extensive properties, the molar mass (molar mass = m/n) of the substance is also an extensive property.
False
Density is an intensive physical property
True
Properties of matter such as density, odor, color, and melting point do not vary with the amount of matter. Such properties are called intensive properties.
