Answer: Rate of reaction is an "extensive property". Rate of generation of a chemical species is an "intensive property"
Explanation:
- Let´s check out the Factors that affect the speed of reactions:
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 <u>depends directly of the amount of material present</u> in a sample, that is why it is an "extensive property"
- The rate of generation of a chemical species, depends of other factors like Temperature, Presence of a catalyst, Pressure. As we can see all the factors that allow the speed of generation of a new chemical species let us know that this is an<u> </u><u>intensive property</u><u> because it doesn´t depends of the amount of material.</u>
