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.
