Interpretation:The reason why all samples of a given substance have the same intensive property needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The property that does not depend on the mass of the substance but depends on the type of matter in a sample is said to be intensive property.
Explanation of Solution
Matter whose composition is definite and uniform is said to be a substance. The reason why all samples of a given substance have the same intensive property is due to the same composition in the sample. For example, the iron nail and silver coin both havea different chemical composition as the iron nail is composed of iron metal whereas the silver coin is composed of silver metal. Both iron and silver are pure substances.
