Which of the following is an extensive property? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an extensive property?
A. Temperature
B. Refractive index
C. Density
D. Enthalpy
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance. Enthalpy (heat content) is extensive because it scales with the quantity. Temperature, density, and refractive index are intensive properties; they remain constant regardless of the sample size. For example, 1 kg of water has more enthalpy than 1 g of water at the same temperature.

Question #1
According to Faraday's first law of electrolysis, the mass of substance deposited is directly proportional to:
A. Electrode area
B. Time of electrolysis
C. Quantity of electricity passed
D. Current passed

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Faraday's first law: m ∝ Q, where m = mass deposited, Q = charge passed (current × time). So mass deposited is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity (coulombs). While m ∝ I and m ∝ t individually are true for constant parameters, the exact law states m = ZIt = ZQ, where Z is electrochemical equivalent. The law directly links mass to Q. Faraday's second law deals with equivalent masses.

Question #2
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the modern periodic table?
A. Noble gases are in Group 1.
B. It is based on atomic mass.
C. There are 8 periods.
D. Elements in a group have same number of valence electrons.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Groups (vertical columns) contain elements with the same number of valence electrons, leading to similar chemical properties. The modern table is based on atomic number; 7 periods exist; noble gases are in Group 18.
