The total or integral heat of dilution is the difference in enthalpy between a solution and its components. The differential heat of dilution or of mixing, which is more commonly meant by the term heat of dilution, is the heat absorbed(change in partial molar enthalpy) when one mole of a specified component is dissolved in a large bulk of solution at constant temperature and pressure. 3, record 1, English, - heat%20of%20dilution

Molar quantity is often convenient to express an extensive quantity(e. g., volume, enthalpy, heat capacity, etc.) as the actual value divided by amount of substance(number of moles). 2, record 2, English, - extensive%20quantity
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Extensive variables are proportional to the size of the system. Intensive variables do not depend on the size of the system. Extensive variables: volume, mass, energy. Intensive variables: pressure, temperature, density. If we divide an extensive quantity by the number of moles (or number of particles), we obtain an intensive quantity. 3, record 2, English, - extensive%20quantity

Il existe une différence très nette entre la chaleur et la température; la chaleur est une forme de l'énergie tandis que la température n'est qu'un facteur de cette forme d'énergie; en fait d'une façon plus rigoureuse la chaleur est le produit de la température, grandeur intensive par une grandeur extensive, l'entropie. 1, record 2, French, - grandeur%20extensive
