| 1. | Linear density is NOT an intensive property, except in limited applications.
|
| 2. | Some intensive properties do not apply at very small sizes.
|
| 3. | It follows, for example, that the ratio of two extensive properties is an intensive property.
|
| 4. | Other intensive properties are derived from those two variables.
|
| 5. | The ratio of two extensive properties of the same object or system is an intensive property.
|
| 6. | A corresponding expression for the difference in intensive properties ) at constant volume and constant pressure is:
|
| 7. | In science, an object's intensive properties are those, like density and specific heat, that do not change with quantity.
|
| 8. | For example, the ratio of an object's mass and volume, which are two extensive properties, is density, which is an intensive property.
|
| 9. | Density is a intensive property because it is a property of the " material itself " irrespective of the amount of material.
|
| 10. | Density is an intensive property in that increasing the amount of a substance does not increase its density; rather it increases its mass.
