Question

Identify the intensive quantity from the following

• A. Enthalpy and temperature
• B. Volume and temperature
• C. Enthalpy and volume
• D. Temperature and refractive index

Answer 1

The correct option is D Temperature and refractive index

Intensive property is one which does not depend on the amount of the substance. All forms of enthalpy are extensive properties. Volume is also an extensive property since the more I have of anything, the more space it occupies. Temperature and refractive index would remain the same of a substance irrespective of the amount of the substance you have.
