Question

. A 5.00 – g sample of lead is bluish-white in color and is very soft and malleable. It has a melting point of 327.4°C and a boiling point of 1620°C. At 20°C the density of the lead sample is 11.35 g –cm-3. Which property of the sample is an extensive property?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the lead

Explanation:

The 5g mass of the lead is an extensive property.

An extensive property is a physical property of matter which depends on the amount of matter that is present there in. Mass, volume e.t.c are all extensive properties. The more the quantity of the lead, the more its mass and the volume it occupies.

Melting point, boiling point, density are all intensive propeties. These properties do not rely on the amount of matter present. Any amount of lead will have the same density.
