About This Quiz

Hello and welcome to this 'intensive vs. Extensive properties' quiz that we have designed below. An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample, whereas intrusive properties are mostly determined by the physical property of a system. Test how well you understand the difference and identification of intensive and extensive properties by taking this quiz. All the best, and don't forget to share the quiz with your friends.

  • 2. 

    What term describes how shiny a substance is?

    • Luster

    • Conductivity

    • Hardness

    • Volume

    Correct Answer
    A. Luster
    Explanation
    Luster refers to the way a substance reflects light. It describes how shiny or dull the surface of a substance appears. The higher the luster, the more reflective and shiny the substance is. Conductivity, hardness, and volume do not directly relate to the shininess of a substance.

  • 3. 

    Name an extensive property.

    • Color

    • Mass

    • Odor

    • Luster

    Correct Answer
    A. Mass
    Explanation
    Mass is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of matter present in a substance. It is a measure of the total mass of an object or sample, and it increases or decreases proportionally with the quantity of matter. In other words, if you double the amount of a substance, its mass will also double. Extensive properties like mass are additive and can be used to characterize and compare different samples or objects.

  • 4. 

    The ability of a substance to be beaten into thin sheets is referred as 

    • Malleability

    • Hardness

    • Weight

    • Density

    Correct Answer
    A. Malleability
    Explanation
    Malleability refers to the ability of a substance to be beaten or hammered into thin sheets without breaking or shattering. It is a property that is commonly observed in metals, such as gold and silver, which can be easily shaped into different forms. Malleability is an important characteristic in various industries, including metalworking and jewelry making, as it allows for the creation of intricate designs and shapes.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The mass of a substance divided by its volume equals to 

    • Volume

    • Density

    • Mass

    • Length

    Correct Answer
    A. Density
    Explanation
    The mass of a substance divided by its volume equals density. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the amount of mass per unit volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume. Density is commonly used to identify and compare different substances, as substances with different densities will have different weights for the same volume.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of these is an extensive property?

    • Hardness

    • Boiling point

    • Density

    • Weight

    Correct Answer
    A. Weight
    Explanation
    Weight is an extensive property because it depends on the quantity of matter present. It increases or decreases with the amount of substance being considered. For example, if we have two objects with the same material, the one with more mass will have a greater weight. In contrast, intensive properties like boiling point and density do not depend on the amount of substance but rather on its nature or composition. Hardness is an intensive property that is measured on the Mohs hardness scale.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires is called:

    • Hardness

    • Color

    • Conductivity

    • Ductility

    Correct Answer
    A. Ductility
    Explanation
    Ductility refers to the ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires without breaking or losing its strength. This property is commonly observed in metals, such as copper and aluminum, which can be easily stretched into long, thin wires. Ductility is an important characteristic in various industries, including electrical wiring and jewelry making.

    Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present.

    • Mass

    • Hardness

    • Extensive

    • Intensive

    Correct Answer
    A. Extensive
    Explanation
    Extensive properties are those that depend on the amount of matter present. Mass is an extensive property because it increases with the amount of matter. Hardness is an intensive property. For example, a diamond is rated 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale regardless of its size. Intensive properties, on the other hand, do not depend on the amount of matter present. Therefore, the correct answer is extensive.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    State true or false. Velocity is an extensive property.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Velocity is not an extensive property. Extensive properties are dependent on the amount of substance present, while velocity is a measure of the rate of change of displacement of an object with respect to time. It does not depend on the amount of substance, but rather on the object's motion. Therefore, velocity is not an extensive property.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Concentration is a type of _______ property. 

    • Intensive

    • Extensive 

    • Both of them 

    • None of them 

    Correct Answer
    A. Intensive
    Explanation
    Concentration is considered an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount or size of the substance being measured. Intensive properties are independent of the quantity of the substance and remain constant regardless of the sample size. In the case of concentration, it refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solvent, and this ratio remains the same regardless of the amount of the solution. Therefore, concentration is an example of an intensive property.
