Chemistry help? extensive or intensive property?

Question

Is k an extensive or intensive property?

Answer 1

Step 1:

Intensive Property:

A property that does not change when the amount of sample changes.

Examples: Density, temperature, pressure, color.

Extensive Property:

A property that changes when the amount of matter in a sample changes.

Examples: Mass, volume, length.

 

The denotes the rate constant.

Rate constant is the proportionality constant in the rate laws.

Rate of the reaction is related to the concentration as , where is the rate of the reaction, is the rate constant.

Rate constants are independent of concentration but depend on temperature.

Hence rate constant is a intensive property.

Solution:

Rate constant is a intensive property.
