Study Notes

Intensive Properties

Depend on the type of matter, not the amount present in a sample.
Useful for identifying unknown substances.
Examples include density, melting point, color, boiling point, ductility, malleability, odor, and solubility.

Extensive Properties

Depend on the quantity of matter in a sample.
Cannot be used for substance identification.
Key examples include mass, volume, length, temperature, moles, energy, and width.

Key Definitions

Mass: Quantity of matter in an object; extensive property.
Volume: Space occupied by an object; extensive property.
Length: Measurement of distance; extensive property.
Density: Mass per unit volume; calculated by dividing mass by volume; intensive property.
Melting Point: Temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid; intensive property.
Color: Visual description of an object; intensive property.
Boiling Point of Water: Transition temperature from liquid to gas; intensive property.
Temperature: Average kinetic energy of particles in matter; extensive property.
Ductility: Ability to be drawn into wires; intensive property.
Malleability: Ability to be shaped into thin sheets; intensive property.
Odor: Chemical property activating the sense of smell; intensive property.
Width: Measurement of an object's width; extensive property.
Circumference of a Soccer Ball: Example of an extensive property.
Gold Density: 19 g/cm³, an example of an intensive property.
Moles of a Substance: Quantity measurement; extensive property.
Energy: Related to the work done or heat in a substance; extensive property.
Calcium Solubility: Insensitivity in water; described as an intensive property.
