Re: Intensive vs extensive
I would assume that Gibbs free energy is an extensive property since the feasibility of a reaction depends on factors such as the amount of matter/availability of reactants, etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Re: Intensive vs extensive
Gibbs free energy is an extensive property. More matter in the system means the amount of maximum possible work available is also more.

Re: Intensive vs extensive
It is extensive because its magnitude is dependent on the amount of a substance in a given thermodynamic state

Re: Intensive vs extensive
Gibbs free energy is an extensive property. Intensive properties are independent of the size of a thermodynamic system.
