In practice, chemists rarely try to measure out a specific mass. Instead, they estimate the mass required and spoon out the mass approximately. Then they measure the mass of the sample precisely and convert it into an amount in moles to find the precise amount that they have obtained. Why do chemists typically not want to measure out very precise, predetermined masses when making up solutions?

a saline water is fed to a reverse osmosis unit at flow rate o rotameter connected to reject (retentate) line reads 8 installed in reject and permeate line reads 15.2 milli siemens/cm and 300 micro siemens/com respectively.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

intensive property is the physical property which does not depend on the size of system or amount of material present in system.

for example, color, density, melting point, boiling point etc are all intensive properties.

thus, we can conclude that the boiling point and color of a substance are both examples of intensive properties because they do not depend on the amount of matter in the sample.
