In physics and chemistry an intensive property of a system is a physical property of the system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. By contrast, an extensive property of a system does depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
Examples of intensive properties include:
* temperature
* viscosity
* density
* electrical resistivity
* melting point
* boiling point
* pressure
* spectral absorption maxima (in solution)
* flammability
Examples of extensive properties include:
* mass
* volume
* entropy
* energy
* electrical resistance
* texture
* heat

What is a property that depends on the extent or size of a system?
Extensive property
Is the volume of Mountain Dew in a glass extensive or intensive property?
Volume is an extensive property.
Is absorption an intensive or extensive property?
extensive propert
Is area properties intensive or extensive?
Area is an extensive property.
Is mass an extensive physical property?
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.
Is viscosity an intensive or extensive property?
extensive property
Is width an extensive property?
Width is an extensive property.
Is weight an extensive property or intensive property?
Extensive
Is concentration intensive or extensive property?
it is an extensive property
What is a property that depends on the extent or size of a system?
Extensive property
Is height extensive or intensive?
It is an extensive property.
How are extensive property used?
I consider that the term "use" for an extensive property is not adequate.
Is mass extensive or intensive physical property?
Mass is an extensive physical property.
Is surface tension is extensive property?
No. Unit of surface tension is energy per area. An extensive property divided by an extensive property becomes intensive.
Is weight a intensive or extensive property?
Extensive
Is volume an extensive or intensive property?
extensive
Is heat a intensive or extensive?
It is an extensive property.
