a container (w/ water) is 100 g and 30 degrees celsius and another container is 200 g and 30 degrees Celsius...is motion of the molecules equal to each other (which has more motion_) and which one has more thermal energy...?
i am assumin its container with the greater mass but i cud b wrong....Thank u

Are the containers the same mass?
Are the contents of the container the same material?
If the answer to both questions is 'Yes' 1st, the motion of the molecules is the same but, 2nd, with the 200g there is twice as much energy in the water contents as you have twice as much .

you are right.The container with more mass will have more particles making there less freedom between them.Since they rub against each other-they probably will-It causes heat-Thermal energy.
