Question:
Which one is not an extensive variable?
Which one is not an extensive variable?
Show Hint
Density, temperature, pressure are intensive properties.
Updated On: Apr 24, 2026
- total mass
- internal energy
- volume
- density
- workdone $(PdV)$
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
• Extensive variables depend on amount of substance
• Intensive variables do not
Step 1: Check options
Mass, energy, volume, work → depend on system size (extensive)
Density → independent of size (intensive) Final Conclusion:
Option (D)
