A student measures the volume of a substance to be 3.25 mL. Can the student determine the identity of the substance from this measurement? a Yes, because volume is an intensive property b Yes, because volume is an extensive property c No, because volume is an extensive property d No, because volume is an intensive property

Respuesta :

Answer:

c No, because volume is an extensive property

Explanation:

Before proceeding;

An Extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of the matter present in a sample. Example is Mass.

An intensive property on the other hand does not change as the amount of matter changes. This most useful in determining the identity of substances. Examples include; Density, color, boiling point etc.

Volume is an extensive property and it cannot be used to determine the identity of a substance.
