viii. What are intensive properties? Explain why density is intensive property.
Answer:-
A property which is independent of the amount of matter in a system is called intensive property. Density is a ratio of mass to volume. Mass and volume are extensive properties. Since density is a ratio of two extensive properties, it is an intensive property. Thus, density is independent of the amount of matter present.
