Q38 / 180 · AIIMS 2018 (26 May) · Chemistry

Which of the following are extensive properties?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Volume and enthalpy
  • B
    Volume and temperature
  • C
    Volume and specific heat
  • D
    Pressure and temperature

Solution

Extensive properties depend upon the quantity of the matter contained in the system. e.g., volume and enthalpy, etc. Intensive properties depend only upon the nature of the substance and are independent of the amount of the substance present in the system e.g., temperature, pressure and specific heat, etc.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
