Mass is an extensive physical 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.
Because the mass depends on the size of an object.
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.
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.
Extensive (dependent on the size) and intensive (independent on the size) are terms used generally for physical properties.
Mass is an Extensive phisical property
an intensive property is the one that is independent from the mass of number of particles in a system while an extensive proeprty depends on them. Energy (e.g. heat) is a property that depend on the mass or the number of particles in a system. In other words, energy is an extensive property.
Mass is an extensive property. Because it depends upon on no of particles. No particles changes mass changes.
the properties depending upon the quantity of substance are extensive and the ones which are not are intensive One simple technique is to think about a box filled with the substance under consideration and divide it into two halves, if the property remains same (temp, density etc) then its intensive and if diff. (volume, mass etc) then extensive...
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.
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).
Reactivity with acid is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of the substance being tested. If you have more of the substance, there may be a stronger or more extensive reaction with acid compared to a smaller amount of the substance.
