Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass and volume are extensive properties which depends upon the amount of the substance and thus, cannot be used to predict the nature of the substance. Whereas mass and volume can be used to calculate density of a substance which is an intensive property and remains constant for a particular substance irrespective of the amount of the substance.

Density is calculated as the mass divided by the volume of the substance.
