No, temperature is not an extensive property; it is an intensive property. Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance present, such as mass or volume, while intensive properties remain the same regardless of the quantity of material. Temperature reflects the average kinetic energy of particles in a system and does not change with the size or extent of the system.
An intensive physical property does not depend on the size of the sample. An example of an intensive physical property is density. An extensive physical property does depend on the size of the sample, such as mass and volume.
Intensive properties of matter are independent of the amount of substance present, such as density and temperature, while extensive properties depend on the amount of substance, like mass and volume. Intensive properties are helpful in identifying substances regardless of their quantity, whereas extensive properties scale with the size of the system.
volume; mass; pressure; hardness; (ie Volume = 1 m³, mass = 100kg, pressure = 14.7 psi, hardness = 25 brinell) EXTENSIVE depends on amount of something (eg 5 kg, 1 m³) Extensive properties => sum of parts = whole (150 lb + 150 lb = 300 lb) in otherwords, you can add them and the result in some bigger value. -------------------------------------------------------- don't read below this line unless you want to know about INTENSIVE properties... temperature is NOT an extensive property, (T). specific volume is NOT an extensive property, (m³/kg). specific anything is NOT and extensive property (.../kg). Intensive properties => sum of parts /= whole (ie 98.6°F + 98.6°F == 98.6°F) the temperature of you big toe + temperature of left pinky does not combine to equal temperature of your body.
Mass is not an intensive property, it is an extensive property, i.e. the mass of a system made of two parts A and B is equal to the mass of A plus the mass of B. An intensive property (e.g. pressure or temperature) is one in which the value of the property for the entire system is equal to the value of the property for any of the subsystems. So, you probably wanted to ask why mass is an extensive property. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and of the fact that forces add up to make a resultant force. The total gravitational force upon a body X by two other bodies A and B is the sum of the force exerted by A and the force exerted by B. It's as if we have a combined body with the mass of A plus the mass of B, and thus mass is extensive.
the properties depending upon the quantity of substance are extensive and the ones which are not are intensive One simple technique is to think about a box filled with the substance under consideration and divide it into two halves, if the property remains same (temp, density etc) then its intensive and if diff. (volume, mass etc) then extensive...
temperature
Gadolinium is extensive magnetic at room temperature and has ferromagnetic behaviors at lower temperature.
an intensive property is the one that is independent from the mass of number of particles in a system while an extensive proeprty depends on them. Energy (e.g. heat) is a property that depend on the mass or the number of particles in a system. In other words, energy is an extensive property.
Ammonia is a gas at room temperature and is considered an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of ammonia present in the system.
Intensive properties do not depend on the matter's amount of the physical system (mass density, temperature ...). Extensive properties do depend on the amount of matter that is present (volume, mass and size).
An extensive property DOES depend on the amount of substance. So, temperature is an INTENSIVE property, and the value measured in 200 ml will be the same as that measured in 1 ml or 1000 ml of the same water.
An intensive physical property does not depend on the size of the sample. An example of an intensive physical property is density. An extensive physical property does depend on the size of the sample, such as mass and volume.
extensive
Yes. It depends on the amount of gas present (as well as the temperature of the gas.)
Intensive properties of matter are independent of the amount of substance present, such as density and temperature, while extensive properties depend on the amount of substance, like mass and volume. Intensive properties are helpful in identifying substances regardless of their quantity, whereas extensive properties scale with the size of the system.
Enthalpy is an extensive quantity because an extensive quantity depends on the size of the molecule or the number of moles (how much of the molecule you have). Therefore think of a handful of gunpower vs. a storage room full of gunpower. Which reaction will have more enthalpy change? Yes, the room full of gunpower because there is more gunpowder in the reaction. This is an example of why enthalpy is an extensive quantity. Hope you understand now.
Velocity is an extensive property because it depends on the mass of the object in motion. Extensive properties are additive and scale with the size or amount of the system. In the case of velocity, the total velocity of a system is the sum of the velocities of its individual components, making it an extensive property.
