Question

at what temperature would 250mL of water boils? 1000mL? is the boiling point an intensive or extensive property? explain.

Answer 1

Water always boils at 212 degrees F, or 100 degrees C. Because the boiling point is not dependent on the size of the sample of water, it would be an intensive property.

Answer 2

Boiling point of water = 100 C. It is an intensive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:

1) Chemical

2) Physical

Physical properties can be further classified as intensive and extensive properties

Intensive properties are properties that do not depend on the amount of matter. For example: Temperature, color, boiling point, melting point

Extensive properties are properties that depend on the amount of matter. For example: Volume, mass, length

Water boils at a temperature of 100 C; this value is a constant irrespective of the volume (amount) of water. Hence boiling point is an intensive property.
