Study notes
Classify: temperature, heat, density, internal energy, pressure, moles. Step 1: Double the system: temperature same → INTENSIVE. Step 2: Heat doubles → EXTENSIVE. Step 3: Density same → INTENSIVE. Step 4: Internal energy doubles → EXTENSIVE; pressure same → INTENSIVE; moles double → EXTENSIVE. Step 5: Divide extensive by moles → intensive: molar internal energy, molar volume.
