intensive/extensive

[Vuong_2F]

what’s the difference between intensive and extensive properties? what are some examples of them?

[SVajragiri_1C]

An intensive property is a characteristic of a substance that does not change no matter the amount or quantity of the substance. An example would be density or specific heat capacity. An extensive property is a characteristic of a substance that does change based on the amount or mass of the substance, so for example heat capacity.

Intensive properties don't depend on how much material you have in the system. Some examples are temperature, density, molar heat capacity, and pressure.

Extensive properties do depend on how much material you have in the system. Examples are volume, mass, enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity, and internal energy.

[Sam McNeill 1E]

I remember it as intensive being internal, and can't be changed, and extensive as external, meaning external forces can alter it.

[Qiu Ya Wu 4I]

I think it would be good to remember that entropy is an extensive property!
