Would these two pots, if they are both full of water and at their boiling point, have the same amount of thermal energy?

• Yes

• No

Answer explanation

Two objects of different mass can have the same temperature, but if one has more mass than the other, it will have more total energy.

A decrease in a material's volume when the temperature decreases is known as...
