Which of the following is an intensive property that does not depend on the amount of substance present?

Answer: Temperature.

  • A Mass
  • B Volume
  • C Temperature
  • D Number of moles

Correct answer: C. Temperature

Explanation: Temperature is an intensive property; its value is independent of the quantity of matter. Mass, volume and number of moles are extensive properties.

Mass (g)given substanceMoles (n)amount of substanceParticlesatoms / moleculesGas Volumeat STP (litres)divide byMolar Massmultiply by6.022 x 10^23multiply by22.4 L/mol

Mass connects to moles via molar mass, and moles connect to particle count via Avogadro's number or to gas volume via the 22.4 L/mol rule at STP.

Concept context

The mole is chemistry's counting unit. Learn to relate mass, volume, and number of particles using Avogadro's number and molar mass, the foundation of all stoichiometry and reaction calculations.
