Which is an extensive physical property color density length boiling point?

Density is an extensive physical property, as it depends on the amount of substance present in a given volume. Boiling point is also an extensive property as it relates to the quantity of substance being heated. Color and length are intensive properties, as they do not depend on the amount of the substance present.


Is potential energy intensive or extensive property?

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.


What between an extensive and an intensive property?

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).


Is evaporation an intensive physical property or extensive?

Evaporation is an intensive physical property because it depends only on the type of substance and is not affected by the amount of the substance present.


Difference between intensive and extensive?

In thermodynamics, intensive quantities do not depend on the size of the system. For example temperature and density are size-independent, intensive quantities.Extensive quantities, on the other hand, are proportional to the size of the system: volume is an obvious one, internal energy and entropy are others.A quick mental test is this: if I were to double the system's size by joining it to a duplicate of itself, would the relevant quantity remain the same or double? If it stays the same it is intensive, otherwise it is extensive.
