Question

a student is given a data table to characterize several unknown substances. which of the following physical properties would likely be included in such a table as characteristic properties? select all that apply.
select one or more:
□ boiling temperature
□ mass
□ color
□ density

Explanation:

Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. Density, color, and boiling temperature are all physical properties. Mass is an extensive property (depends on the amount of substance), but it is also a physical property. However, if we consider characteristic physical properties (intensive properties that are unique to a substance regardless of amount), density, color, and boiling temperature are more characteristic. But since the question says "physical properties" (not specifying intensive), all options are physical properties.

Answer:

Density, Color, Mass, Boiling Temperature
