INTENSITIVE

QUANTITY

 An intensive quantity is a physical


quantity whose value does not
depend on the amount of the
substance for which it is measured. It
is the counterpart of an extensive
quantity. For instance, the mass of an
object is an extensive quantity,
because it depends on the amount of
that substance being measured.
Density, on the other hand, is an
intensive property of the substance.

a physical quantity is a physical
property that can be quantified. This
means it can be measured and/or
calculated and expressed in
numbers.

The density of a material is defined
as its mass per unit volume.
 Examples of intensive properties
include:
temperature
chemical potential
density
specific gravity
viscosity
velocity
electrical resistivity

◦ Intensive - Properties that do not depend on
the amount of the matter present.
 Color
Odor
Luster - How shiny a substance is.
Malleability - The ability of a substance to be
beaten into thin sheets.
Ductility - The ability of a substance to be drawn
into thin wires.
Conductivity - The ability of a substance to allow
the flow of energy or electricity.
Hardness - How easily a substance can be
scratched.
Melting/Freezing Point - The temperature at
which the solid and liquid phases of a substance
are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure.
Boiling Point - The temperature at which the
vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure
on the liquid (generally atmospheric pressure).

Extensive
quantity
An extensive quantity is a physical
quantity whose value is proportional
to the size of the system it
describes.
Extensive quantities are the

counterparts of intensive quantities,


which are intrinsic to a particular
subsystem and remain constant
regardless of size. Dividing one type
of extensive quantity by a different
type of extensive quantity will in
general give an intensive quantity.
◦ Extensive - Properties that do depend
on the amount of matter present.
 Mass - A measurement of the amount of
matter in a object (grams).
Weight - A measurement of the
gravitational force of attraction of the
earth acting on an object.
Volume - A measurement of the amount
of space a substance occupies.
Length


 Examples of extensive properties
mass
length
volume
entropy
enthalpy
energy
