Which from following is an example of both intensive property and state function?
Options
- AInternal energy
- BVolume
- CTemperature
- DEntropy
Correct answer
C. Temperature
Step-by-step solution
Intensive properties are independent of system size, while extensive properties scale with system size. State functions depend only on the current state, not the path taken to reach it. Internal energy U is extensive (scales with moles) and a state function. Volume V is extensive (scales with amount) and a state function. Entropy S is extensive (scales with system size) and a state function. Only temperature T is intensive (identical in different-sized systems at equilibrium) and a state function (determined solely
