Question
If x and y are arbitrary extensive variables, then
Options
A.xy is an intensive variable.
B.x/y is an intensive variable.
C.(x + y) is an intensive variable.
D.dx/dy is an intensive variable.
Solution
The sum of two extensive properties is always extensive while the ratio of extensive properties is intensive and the derivation is also intensive.
