Mass is not an intensive property, it is an extensive property, i.e. the mass of a system made of two parts A and B is equal to the mass of A plus the mass of B. An intensive property (e.g. pressure or temperature) is one in which the value of the property for the entire system is equal to the value of the property for any of the subsystems. So, you probably wanted to ask why mass is an extensive property. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and of the fact that forces add up to make a resultant force. The total gravitational force upon a body X by two other bodies A and B is the sum of the force exerted by A and the force exerted by B. It's as if we have a combined body with the mass of A plus the mass of B, and thus mass is extensive.

∙ 11y agoNo, mass is not an intensive property(its actually extensive) since it DEPENDS on the amount of material in the system. (i.e. half the amount of material = half the mass)

Is temperature an extensive or intensive property?
An intensive physical property does not depend on the size of the sample. An example of an intensive physical property is density. An extensive physical property does depend on the size of the sample, such as mass and volume.
Is mass physical extensive?
Mass is: physical, extensive
Why is mass not an intensive physical property?
Because the mass depends on the size of an object.
What is difference between extensive physical property and intensive physical property?
Anintensive property is a property of matter that is independent of the quantity of the substance. Density, boiling and melting points, and specific gravity are all intensive properties.An extensive property depends on the quantity of a substance. Mass and volume are extensive properties.
Is mass characteristic property?
No definitely not.Because a characteristic property should not change.It is used to identify a substance.Mass and Volume are not characteristic properties whereas Density is a characteristic property of the substance .
Is mass extensive or intensive physical property?
Mass is an extensive physical property.
Is temperature an extensive or intensive property?
An intensive physical property does not depend on the size of the sample. An example of an intensive physical property is density. An extensive physical property does depend on the size of the sample, such as mass and volume.
Is mass physical extensive?
Mass is: physical, extensive
Why is density not an extensive physical property?
Density doesn't depend on the material mass.
Why is mass not an intensive physical property?
Because the mass depends on the size of an object.
Is a mass a intensive or extensive?
Mass is an Extensive phisical property
Is reactivity with acid extensive or intensive property?
Reactivity is intensive property, reaction rate is extensive.
Which property of matter depends on the amount of matter present?
Extrinsic Physical Property. <-- Physical Science Bookwork in Nova Net.
Which is an extensive physical property color density length boiling point?
Length is an extensive physical property.
Is malleability an extensive or intensive physical property?
extensive
What are the two type of changes?
The two types of physical properties are intensive and extensive. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an intensive property is density. Extensive properties do depend on the amount of a substance. An example of an extensive property is mass.
What between an extensive and an intensive property?
Intensive properties do not depend on the matter's amount of the physical system (mass density, temperature ...). Extensive properties do depend on the amount of matter that is present (volume, mass and size).
