Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between extensive and intensive properties: Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present, while intensive properties do not.
Recall that mass is an extensive property because it changes when the amount of substance changes.
Recognize that density is an intensive property because it is the ratio of mass to volume and does not depend on the amount of substance.
Identify that color is an intensive property since it does not change with the quantity of matter.
Note that temperature is also an intensive property because it remains the same regardless of the amount of substance.
