If one of the rocks that you were analyzing for density suddenly split in two, and you were only able to measure the mass and volume of a smaller piece, would that change the outcome of your calculation?

A.) Yes, and that is called an intensive property
B.) No, and that is called an extensive property
C.) No, and that is called an intensive property
D.) Yes, and that is called an extensive property

Yo sup??

Nice meeting u buddy....i am an anime fan too...watched over 60+ anime and now watching GTO.

Btw the answer to your question is option C ie

No and that's called an intensive property as intensive property doesn't depend on the amount of substance.

Whatever be the amount it will always remain the same.

Some other examples of intensive properties are temperature, pressure, conductivity etc.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

The answer is C) No, and that is called an intensive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Intensive properties are those that do not depend on the mass or size of a body. If the system is divided into several subsystems its value will remain unchanged, therefore they are not additive

Examples of intensive properties are elasticity, speed, specific volume (volume occupied by the unit of mass), density, boiling point, melting point, viscosity, hardness, concentration, solubility, odor, color, taste, conductivity, porosity, pressure, temperature, etc., in general, all those that characterize a substance distinct from others.

For instance if we have a liter of water, your boiling point is 100 °C (at 1 pressure atmosphere). If another liter of water is added, the new system, made up of two liters of water, has the same boiling point as the original system. This illustrates the non-additivity of intensive properties.
