Question 5 • Chemistry

Which statement describes an intensive property of matter?

Answer
A
It is the same for every sample of every substance.
B
It depends on the amount of substance present.
C
It is the same for every sample of a single substance.
D
It depends on how a substance was formed.

Explanation

An intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present, so samples of the same substance have the same value when measured under the same conditions. For example, density is characteristic of a substance; it is not necessarily the same for every different substance, so D is incorrect.
