Explain the difference between extensive properties and intensive properties.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Extensive properties are those that depend on the amount of matter present. Intensive properties are bulk properties.

Step by step solution

01

Extensive and Intensive properties

Extensive properties are those that depend on the amount of matter present. An extensive property is considered additive for subsystems. Examples of extensive properties include:Volume,Mass, Size, Weight, and Length.

Whereas, Intensive properties are bulk properties, which means they do not depend on the amount of matter that is present. Examples are Boiling Point,Density,State of Matter,Color,Melting Point,Temperature,Refractive Index,Hardness,Ductility,Malleability, etc.

02

Determine the specific difference between intensive and extensive properties

Extensive property is directly proportional to the mass where as, intensive properties are not related to the mass.

Question: As an instructor is preparing for an experiment, he requires 225 g phosphoric acid. The only container readilyavailable is a 150-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Is it large enough to contain the acid, whose density is 1.83 g/mL?

Question: Sulfuric acid is the industrial chemical produced in greatest quantity worldwide. About \({\rm{90}}\) billion pounds are produced each year in the United States alone. Write the Lewis structure for sulfuric acid, \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{4}}}\), which has two oxygen atoms and two \({\rm{OH}}\) groups bonded to the sulphur.
