Question

a boiling pan of water has a higher temperature than a tepid bathtub, but the bathtub contains more heat. why?○ the bathtub has greater mass○ temperature equals total heat○ the bathtub has greater volume○ the pan transfers heat faster○ the bathtub is warmer overall

Explanation:

Total heat (thermal energy) depends on mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature difference from a reference point. The boiling pan has a higher temperature, but the bathtub has a far larger mass of water. Since specific heat capacity is the same for water, the much greater mass of the bathtub's water results in more total heat, even at a lower temperature.

Answer:

○ The bathtub has greater mass
