Introduction
• An extensive property is a property whose value depends on the quantity or size of matter present in the system. • For example, mass, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, heat capacity, etc. • Those properties which do not depend on the quantity or size of matter present are known as intensive properties. • Ex: temperature, density, pressure etc.
Pre-Requisites:
Temperature, density, mass, volume
Activity:
Fish can live in water when it is too hot.
Real Life Question:
