Why entropy is an extensive quantity ?
sweet springs said:Hi.
Entropy increase by volume. Gas of 2 m^3 have double entropy than gas of 1 m^3 in the same temperature and pressure.

First law of thermodynamics, about the conservation of energy: δQ=dU - dW =dU - pdV
δQ is extensive because dU and pdV are extenxive. δQ/T and ∫δQ/T are also extensive.

abcdefg10645 said:But for different systems , their temperature T may not be the same !
First Law sates that deltaQ=dU+deltaW
We can only infer that deltaQ is additive !
sweet springs said:Hi.
Thanks for correcting my sign mistake of deltaW.
You are right. Additive is the essence of extensive quantity. For isolated two different systems
S1 = ∫dQ1/T1, S2 = ∫dQ2/T2 and the entropy of total system is S = S1 + S2.

Definition ∫ δQ/T is already addition of δQ/T , isn't it ?
Why not additive you think?
