Among the following, the intensive property is (properties are)
- (A)molar conductivity✓ Correct
- (B)electromotive force✓ Correct
- (C)resistance
- (D)heat capacity
Answer: (A), (B)
Solution
Intensive properties are independent of the amount of substance present. Molar conductivity (conductivity per mole) and electromotive force (EMF, a potential difference) are intensive properties. Resistance depends on the dimensions of the conductor (length, area) and is extensive. Heat capacity depends on the amount of substance and is extensive; specific heat capacity would be intensive.
