Which of the properties below is not intensive?

Question

A) density
B) concentration
C) temperature
D) mass
E) pressure


I thought that density mass and pressure were not intensive but I can only choose one, so i'm stuck?

Answer 1

Density and pressure ARE intensive. Remember: intensive property (also called a bulk property) of a system is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Extensive property must be additive. So, think how can one add density or pressure up?
