Extensive properties Mass, internal energy, heat capacity.
Intensive properties Pressure, molar heat capacity, density, mole fraction, specific heat, temperature and molarity.
Ratio of two extensive properties is always intensive.
Extensive/Extensive = Intensive
So, mole fraction and molarity are intensive properties.
