Which procedure could a student use to examine an intensive property of a rectangular block of wood?
A. Find the mass.
B. Record the length.
C. Measure the volume.
D. Determine the density.

Answer (2)

To examine an intensive property of a rectangular block of wood, the student should determine its density, as it is an example of an intensive property that does not change with the size of the material. This involves measuring the mass and volume of the block and calculating the density. Other measurements like mass and length are extensive properties and do not qualify as intensive. ;

To evaluate an intensive property of a block of wood, the student should determine its density. This involves measuring the block's mass and volume and using the formula De n s i t y = v o l u m e ma ss ​ . Choosing option D is appropriate because density is an intensive property that does not depend on the quantity of the material.
