The density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (v).
density= mass/volume d=m/v
considering that mass and volume are both extensive properties, explain why their ratio, desity, is intensive.

Answer with explanation:

Extensive properties depend on the total matter while intensive properties do not, mass and volume are extensive properties because a bigger mass and a bigger volume are indicative of a more massive object, on the other hand, a more colorful or denser object is not an indication of a more massive object. Density, in particular, is a ratio so it will always be the same regardless of the size of the object, therefore, it is not directly related with the total amount of mass; to better understand this concept imagine you have a bag of sand and you add more sand to the bag, you are increasing the mass and the volume but because both increases the ration m/V do not.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
