Two samples of solids have similar reactivity with acids and similar densities. Their masses and volumes, however are not at all similar. Is it possible that these are the same substance?(1 point)

Responses

Yes, it is possible because they have similar intensive properties.

No, it is not possible because they have different extensive properties.

No, it is not possible because they have different extensive properties.

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of substance present. If the two samples have different masses and volumes, they cannot be the same substance, even if they have similar reactivity with acids and similar densities (which are intensive properties and do not depend on the amount of substance).
