Answer 1

Explanation:

Intensive Property: These are the properties of the system which are independent of mass under consideration.

e.g. Pressure, Temperature, density, Specific enthalpy, Melting point, Boiling point, etc.

Extensive Properties: The properties which depend on the mass of the system under consideration.

e.g Internal Energy, Enthalpy, Volume, Entropy etc.

Note: All specific properties are intensive properties. For e.g. specific volume, specific entropy etc.

thus, Density is not an extensive property.
