Question

PLEASE ANSWER

These two containers have a pink liquid in them. Which of these containers has more thermal energy and why?

A. Container B has more thermal energy because the temperature is higher.
B. Container A has more thermal energy since there is more room for the liquid to move around.
C. Even thought the temperature is the same,, container A has more thermal energy since it has less liquid than container B
D. Even thought the temperature is the same, container B has more thermal energy since it has more liquid than container A

Answer 1

D. Even though the temperature is the same, container B has more thermal energy, since it has more liquid than container A.

Explanation:

Whenever there is an increase in the volume of the pink liquid, it is due to the increase in temperature.

When the temperature increases, the molecules move farther apart as much as possible.

When the molecules moves apart from each other and collide with each other, so that its kinetic energy also increases, So thermal energy of the container B is more compared to the container A.
