Specific Heat and its Properties
What is an intensive property, and why does specific heat go from extensive to intensive when divided by the amount of substance present?

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
Intensive properties only depend on the type of matter, not its amount.

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
Extensive property = intensive property*amount. Some intensive property examples include Eº, density, etc.

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
Intensive properties don’t depend on the amount of substance present. Specific heat of a reaction is just a quantity with units of joules per celsius but dividing the specific heat by the amount of substance gives a quantity with units of joules per celsius per gram.

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
intensive property means that they type of substance is whats important now how much substance there is.

Hi! So, basically, intensive properties refer to properties that are substance-dependent and are intrinsic, whereas extensive properties aren't as substance-dependent per say.

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
Intensive properties are ones that depend on the amount of substance there is in a reaction, while an extensive property is one that is not dependent on the amount of substance present.

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
extensive properties depend on the amount of substance present, intensive properties only depend on the type. Density is an example- water has 1g/ml density and this is universal for all water.

Re: Specific Heat and its Properties
Intensive properties are nondependent on the amount of a substance, so by dividing heat capacity by the amount of the substance, you are turning it to an intensive property.
