Hi everyone today, we have a question telling us that the bullying point of water is 100°C. And our question is, is this classified as an intensive or extensive property of water? So we have to remember some definitions here intensive. It does not matter how much we have of it extensive, it does matter how much we have of it. So the boiling point of water being 100 degrees Celsius, it doesn't matter how much water we have. The boiling point is always going to be 100 degrees Celsius, which does make this intensive. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
