Question

Which of the following is not an intensive property?
A) Weight
B) Density
C) Refractive index
D) Melting point

Answer 1

option [b] is correct.

density

Answer 2

Answer:

option (a) Weight

Explanation:

Intensive Properties can be understood as how the property changes when the size/amount is changed.

Weight is an extensive property, as, if the amount is changed the value of it may vary.

Whereas, the other examples are Intensive as:

• Density of a material, let's say a Pencil. If we break the pencil into pieces its size may definitely Change, but density remains the same.
• Refractive Index of same material, let's say Glass. The glass would show up the same Refractive index no matter what size it has.
• Melting point/Boiling point of let's say Water would always be the same. If water boils at 100°C, it would always be the same(it's Universal). Though you boil a 700mL glass of water or 2L of a bucket.

So therefore, Intensive Properties are Independent of their size/amount, unlike the Extensive Properties which totally depends upon the size/amount.

Hope it helps you!
