MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question

Which among the following pair of properties are intensive ?

(A)surface tension and viscosityCorrect
(B)mass and temperature
(C)internal energy and boiling point
(D)heat capacity and specific heat

Answer: (A)

Solution

An intensive property is independent of the amount (size) of the system, whereas an extensive property is proportional to the amount of matter. Surface tension and viscosity are characteristics of the substance at a given temperature and do not change if the sample is halved, so both are intensive. Hence (A). In
