On a stove we have two pots of water at the boiling point. Pot 1 contains 1 L of water and pot 2 contains 2 L of water. Which of the following statements is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pot 2 has a larger thermal energy content than pot 1 because it contains more water at the same temperature, meaning it has more heat stored due to its larger mass. The boiling point of water is the same for both pots assuming they are at the same atmospheric pressure, so their temperatures are the same, making statement A incorrect.
