What are intensive and extensive properties?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Measurable properties of a system-may be classified into two types i) extensive properties ii), intensive properties...
i) Extensive Properties : The properties of a system which depend on the total amount of the material present in the system are called extensive properties. Examples : Mass (m), volume (V), internal energy (E), heat content (H), gibbs energy (G), entropy (s), heat (V). capacity etc., are extensive properties
ii) -Intensive properties : Properties of a system which are independent of the amount of the material in the system are called intensive properties.
Examples: Density, molar properties such as molar volume, molar entropy, molar heat capacity, surface tension(s), vis cosity, specific heat, refractive index, pressure, temperature, boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure are intensive properties.
