Size independent property is physical properties that do not change when an object changes.

What are two size-dependent properties and two size independent properties of an iron nail?

Size dependent properties include mass and volume. Size independent properties include density and malleability.


Is density a extensive property of a substance?

Density is an intrinsic property, not an extensive property of matter. This is because it DOES NOT depend on the size of the sample (amount). The density of a small piece of matter is the same as the density of a larger piece of that same matter.


What type of property of matter is independent of the quantity of the substance?

An example of a property of matter that is independent of the quantity of the substance is density. Density is a physical property that remains constant regardless of the amount of a substance present.


What type of property dependent on the amount of matter?

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, are dependent on the amount of matter present. These properties change in proportion to the amount of substance being measured, making them directly related to the quantity of matter.


Explain why density and solubility are size-dependent physical properties of matter?

Density and solubility are size-independent physical properties of matter because their values do not uniformly increase or decrease relative to size or volume. Density is the measure of mass within a given volume, so while the size of an object does influence the density, it does not entail that smaller objects have greater density. For example, a cannon has greater density than a cup of water, even though the cannon has much greater volume. Solubility is the measure of a substance's ability to dissolve, therefore both large and small objects can have high or low solubility. For example, a packet of sugar has greater solubility than a bowling bowl, while a large mineral lick has greater solubility than a pin.
