Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter,while intensive properties do not. Classify the following properties as extensive or intensive:
Mass,internal energy,pressure,heat capacity,molar heat capacity,density,mole fraction,specific heat,temperature,and molarity.

(N/A) Extensive properties: Properties whose values depend on the quantity or size of matter present in the system are known as extensive properties.
Examples: $Mass$,$internal \ energy$,$heat \ capacity$.
Intensive properties: Properties that do not depend on the quantity or size of matter present are known as intensive properties.
Examples: $Pressure$,$molar \ heat \ capacity$,$density$,$mole \ fraction$,$specific \ heat$,$temperature$,and $molarity$.
Note: The ratio of two extensive properties is always an intensive property.
$\frac{\text{Extensive}}{\text{Extensive}} = \text{Intensive}$
For example,$mole \ fraction = \frac{\text{Moles of component}}{\text{Total moles}} = \frac{\text{Extensive}}{\text{Extensive}}$ and $molarity = \frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{\text{Extensive}}{\text{Extensive}}$. Thus,they are intensive properties.
