Re: Intensive Property
heat capacity is an intensive property because the amount of substance matters.
Re: Intensive Property
Heat capacity is an intensive property because it depends on the amount of matter that you start with. Heat capacity is defined as the energy that it takes to raise 1mol of substance by 1 degree c, and it takes more energy to raise 1 mol of a complex molecule by 1 degree C than it does a simple one.

Why does it depend on amount when specific heat capacity has grams in its units?
