A chemist takes 50-gram sample of sulfur powder that has a melting point of 115.2 °C. What is the melting point of a 100-gram sample of sulfur powder?
A. 115.2 °C since melting point is an extensive property
B. 115.2 °C since melting point is an intensive property
C. Double of 115.2 °C since melting point is an intensive property
D. Double of 115.2 °C since melting point is an extensive property
I would say that B is the correct answer which means that the melting point would be intensive or that no matter how large or small the sample of the sulphur is, it will have a consistent melting temperature or of 115.2 degrees C.
