Answer
Yes, volume is an extensive variable.
Explanation
Solution
Volume is an extensive variable.
An extensive variable is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a system. If you take a system and divide it into two parts, the value of an extensive property for the whole system is the sum of the values for the individual parts.
For example, if you have 1 liter of water and you add another 1 liter of water, the total volume becomes 2 liters. The volume directly scales with the amount of substance. Therefore, volume is an extensive variable.
