Which of the following is the example of extensive properties?(a) Color(b) Temperature(c) Mass(d) SolubilityThis question was addressed to me during an internship interview.The above asked question is from Thermodynamic Preliminaries in division Material Balance of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (c) Mass

To elaborate: THERMODYNAMIC properties are divided into two BROAD types: intensive properties and EXTENSIVE properties. An extensive property is any property that depends on the size (or extent) of the system under consideration. An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a physical property of a system that does not DEPEND on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Mass and volume are extensive properties.
