Question

A chemist takes 50-gram sample of sulfur powder that has a melting point of 115.2 °C. What is the melting point of a 100-gram sample of sulfur powder?
115.2 °C since melting point is an extensive property

115.2 °C since melting point is an intensive property

Double of 115.2 °C since melting point is an intensive property

Double of 115.2 °C since temperature is an extensive property

Answer 1

Answer:

115.2 °C since melting point is an intensive property  

Step-by-step explanation:

The melting point of a substance does not depend on how much you have.

For example, the melting point of water is 0 °C, whether it is an ice cube from the refrigerator or in the frozen pond outside.

The freezing point of a substance is an intensive property.

Thus, the melting point of 100 g of sulfur is 115.2 °C because melting point in an intensive property.
