Here’s a explanation:
Extensive Properties
- Depend on the size or amount of the system.
- If the system gets bigger, these properties increase.
- Examples: mass, volume, total energy, total heat, total entropy.
Intensive Properties
- Do not depend on the size of the system.
- If the system gets bigger, these properties stay the same.
- Examples: temperature, pressure, density, color, boiling point.
Easy way to remember:
- Extensive = grows with the system.
- Intensive = stays the same no matter the system size.
