Question

Recycling plants sort material by their volume and melting point. Machines will do this quickly so large amounts of material can be sorted. Which intensive property would be most useful to sort the material by?

Answer 1

Answer:

Density

Explanation:

Intensive properties are those properties that do not depend on the size of the system or on the amount of matter in the system.

If materials are being sorted out for recycling, then materials can be sorted in accordance with their different densities and packed as such, this is quite a convenient way of sorting out the materials for recycling, hence the answer above.
