Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are Extensive Properties?
A
A property that depends on the type of matter in a sample, not the amount of matter.
B
Characteristics that can be observed/measured without changing the identity of the substance
C
A property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample.
D
Changes that do not affect the identity of the substance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample. Mass and volume are examples of extensive properties. An intensive property is a property of matter that depends only on the type of matter in a sample and not on the amount.

Detailed explanation-2: -Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the mass of gold. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the density of gold. Heat is an example of an extensive property, and temperature is an example of an intensive property.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extensive properties vary with the amount of the substance and include mass, weight, and volume. Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of the substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and physical state at a given temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -An extensive property depends upon the amount of the substance.
