for wild plum to become established, and the nutrient enrichment increased fruit production. The branches of wild plum were often pruned or cut back to increase production. Cultivars, Improved and Selected Materials (and area of origin) âBlackhawkâ, âHawkeyeâ, and âDe Sotoâ cultivars are descendents of the wild species (Kindscher 1987).
Determination of chemical properties results in the change of the identity of the substance. Some properties, such as solubility, melting point, boiling point, and density are independent of the amount of. substance being examined. These properties are known as intensive properties and are used to identify a. substance.
There are many types of physical properties. Commonly used examples include density, color, odor, hardness, and volume. Physical properties are further classified based on whether they are extensive or intensive. Extensive physical properties are those that are dependent on the amount of the substance present. Intensive physical properties are those that do not depend on the amount of the substance present. This means they will be the same whether you have one gram or one thousand kilograms of the substance. Density is a physical property that is determined by dividing the mass of a given amount of a substance by its volume. It is often reported in units of g/mL, which means 'grams per milliliter'. Density is an intensive property because the density of a pure substance will be the same no matter how much of it you have.
