An "extensive property" is a material property that depends on the amount of material present in a sample. an "intensive property" is a material property that depends only on the type of material in a sample and not on the amount. is the rate of reaction of a chemical species, n, an extensive property or an intensive property? explain. how would you classify the rate of generation of a chemical species, g?

Rate of reaction is an "extensive property". Rate of generation of a chemical species is an "intensive property"

Explanation:

Temperature, Physical state of the reagents, Presence of a catalyst, Pressure, light, Concentration of the reagents.

When having a general chemical reaction like this:

aA + bB → cC + dD

Usually the rate of reaction is represented by the next equation

Where k= constant

x, y = reactant orders

A, B = reactant concentration

As we can see in the last equation, the rate of reaction depends directly of the amount of material present in a sample, that is why it is an "extensive property"

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms
