Identify an extensive property amongst the following.

AViscosity
BHeat capacity
Correct Answer
CDensity
DSurface tension

Solution

Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter that is present.
Extensive properties do depend on the amount of matter that is present.

Viscosity, density and surface tension do not depend on mass or amount of matter, hence they are intensive properties.

Heat capacity (the amount of heat usually expressed in calories, kilocalories, or joules needed to raise the system's temperature by one degree ) is an extensive property.
