Which of the following is not an intensive property?(a) Temperature(b) Density(c) Mass(d) Mole fractionThe question was posed to me during a job interview.My question is taken from Basic Energy Concepts topic in portion Energy Balance of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (C) Mass

For explanation I would say: TEMPERATURE, density, and mole fraction are examples of properties which are independent of the SIZE of the system; these quantities are called intensive variables. On the other hand, mass, volume and energy are extensive variables which change if mass is added to or REMOVED from the system.
