I know that were supposed to find 2 intensive properties to start but then I don't know what to do since there a lot of tables. Does anyone know how to do this?
 
You just have to match up the values. If you have a phase it will be in the saturated tables, high pressures in compressed liquid tables, and high temperatures in superheated vapor tables. If you can't find the numbers on the tables then you have to use interpolation.
