Relevant wiki: Intensive and Extensive Properties

The intensive properties are

  • Vapour Pressure of water
  • Viscosity
  • Standard electric potential of a cell
  • Boiling point of a pure substance
  • Melting point of a pure substance
  • Specific Volume
  • Molar Heat Capacity
  • Refractive Index
  • Pressure

Vapour pressure of a mixture of ethyl alcohol and water, is not an intensive property, because the vapour pressure will depend on the concentration of both ethyl alcohol and water.
