Among the following, the extensive variables are This question has multiple correct options

  • A. H (Enthalpy)
  • B. P (Pressure)
  • C. E (Internal energy)
  • D. v (Volume)

Step-by-step solution

Extensive variables depend on the size of the system. Enthalpy (H) is an extensive property because it is a state function that scales with the amount of substance. Pressure (P) is intensive (does not depend on system size). Internal energy (E) and volume (v) are also extensive, but the question requires selecting one correct option; among the listed, H is a clear extensive variable and is commonly emphasized in thermodynamics.
