Question

In thermodynamics
temperature is an intensive property..but I hatake ad this thought take a system and add matter till it fils the entire system and add more and more then obviously temperature rises..doesn't this contradict that temperature is independent of amount of matter as iit id an intensive property...

Answer 4

? I dont usually make a big deal about grammatical errors but this doesn't make much sense. So I say fix this sentence so it makes more sense and has less grammatical errors. Then you may get some help on it.

Answer 5

If you're looking at an intensive property, you're taking a system and saying that the property (in this case, temperature) is the same for the entire system as it is if you were to look at a smaller part of the system.

You can't change the system and expect the principle to hold. By adding matter, you are changing the composition of the system. You can add matter to the system, but once the system has achieved thermal equilibrium, the temperature will be the same throughout the system whether you look at the entire system or a smaller part of the system.

Answer 6

When we two masses, each of mass m and temperature T, the temperature of the combination is T,This is because temperature is an intensive property of the matter,
The mass of the combination is 2m, this is because the mass is an extensives property.
