Intensive vs. Extensive

[EthanPham_1G]

What is the difference between intensive and extensive properties?

[VLi_2B]

Intensive properties do not depend on the quantity of matter. Examples include density, state of matter, and temperature. Extensive properties do depend on sample size. Examples include volume, mass, and size

[Matthew ILG 1L]

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present

[PranaviKolla2B]

Intensive properties do NOT depend on mass, while extensive properties do depend on mass.

[Kimberly Koo 2I]

Intensive properties don't depend on the quantity of matter that's being measured, while extensive properties do depend on the quantity being measured. An intensive property would be density while an extensive property would be volume.

[Hussain Chharawalla 1G]

An example of this is heat capacity vs specific heat capacity. Heat capacity depends on the amount of substance but specific heat capacity does not.

[Nare Nazaryan 1F]

The way I remember the difference is that extensive properties can be divided by the amount of the substance (e.g. heat capacity divided by mass) to become intensive properties (specific heat capacity as a result of heat capacity/mass).

[Owen-Koetters-4I]

intensive properties are independent of size and extensive properties are dependent on size

[Shrayes Raman]

Intensive property do not care for quantity. For instance Density is intensive as it will be unchanged regardless of amount of material. This is the opposite for Extensive property such as mass.

[Abigail_Hagen2G]

Intensive properties do not rely on the amount of substance.

[105335337]

Intensive properties do not rely on the quantity of matter while extensive properties due depend on the quantity of matter.

[504939134]

Intensive properties do not depend on the quantity of matter , and expensive properties do depend on the amount of matter.

[Anna Heckler 2C]

Extensive properties depend on your sample size. Specific heat capacity, for example, is an extensive property since it will increase with a greater sample size (requires more energy to increase the temperature of a larger sample by one degree celsius than a smaller sample size).

[Juana Abana 1G]

Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter being measured meanwhile intensive properties don't.

[Catherine Daye 1L]

Intensive properties don't depend on the amount of a substance, while extensive properties do. For example, density is intensive but mass is extensive.

[Jesse Anderson-Ramirez 3I]

Extensive properties depend on mass and intensive properties do not.
