Which of the following is an extensive property?
  1. Temperature
  2. Volume
  3. Density
  4. Pressure

Solution

Extensive properties are mass dependent, like volume, enthalpy etc. Intensive properties are mass independent, like temperature, pressure and density. \(\begin{aligned} & \text { where, density }=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}=\frac{\text { extensive property }}{\text { extensive property }} \\ & =\text { Intensive property } \\ \end{aligned}\)
