Question:

Intensive/ extensive properties!!!!!?

If one intensive property is the same will all other intensive properties be the same when comparing two different samples?

for example: 100g of iron metal at room temperature and 100 g of iron 400 C

  1. no.

    **************************************...

    intensive properties are physical properties that are independant of the amount of material present.  examples.  temperature, density, viscosity, hardness, specific heats, etc.

    extensive properties are physical properties that do depend on the amount of material present...examples, mass, length, volume, etc

    In your example, the extensive property of mass is constant and the intensive property of temperature changes.  Your not keeping the intensive property constant.

    Maybe a better example of your question would be this.  let's let the intensive property of density be constant between two samples.  does that mean temperature is constant between the samples?  Here's an example... water at 0.01°C has a density of 0.9998 g/cm³ and water at 10°C also has a density of 0.9998 g/cm³ ... same density. two different temperatures.  (the density of water peaks at 4°C right?)  so having 1 intensive property constant does not mean all intensive properties will be constant
