Do a large pan of soup have more thermal energy then small bowl soup?

Yes, a large pan of soup will have more thermal energy than a small bowl of soup, assuming they are both at the same temperature. Here's why:

* Thermal energy is the total energy of all the molecules in a substance.

* The amount of thermal energy is directly proportional to the mass of the substance.

* The larger pan of soup has more mass (more molecules) than the small bowl of soup.

Therefore, even if both the pan and the bowl of soup are at the same temperature, the pan will have more total thermal energy because it contains more molecules.
