Is temperature or thermal energy dependent upon the mass or amount of the substance?

It depends on its mass since the bigger the object is, the higher its heat content. Is also dependent on its temperature change since the particles of matter are in motion and the energy depends on speed thus, the faster the motion of the particles in the object, the higher the heat content is.

Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
Does the amount of substance change its thermal energy?
Yes, the more substance you have, the slower the temperature change.
Is Temperature a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?
No. As Temperature isn't by any way a measure of how much energy is ''stored'' in a substance, it vary with the heat capacity of the said substance...«Heat capacity (usually denoted by a capital C, often with subscripts), or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity that characterizes the amount of heat required to change a substance's temperature by a given amount. In the International System of Units (SI), heat capacity is expressed in units of joule(s) (J) per kelvin (K).»
What substance has a large amount of thermal energy?
Glass
What changes when the amount of a substance changes?
total thermal energy
Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
Is temperature an element?
No, temperature is the amount of thermal energy in a given amount of a substance.
Is degrees related to thermal energy?
The amount of thermal energy a substance has is proportional to its temperature
Is temperature based on how much of a substance you have?
No.But the amount of thermal energy does.
Does temperature have an effect on the amount of thermal energy in a substance?
When the temperature might be increasing, thermal energy is increasing and it increases much faster when decreasing than when increasing so it's permanent energy and can never be reducing!
Does the amount of substance change its thermal energy?
Yes, the more substance you have, the slower the temperature change.
What is the amount of change in the thermal energy of a certain mass of a substance per degree of cahange in temperature?
That is called the specific heat.
What is the amount of change in the thermal energy of a certain mass of a substance per degree of change in temperature?
That is called the specific heat.
What is the difference between temperature and heat energy?
the difference between heat energy and temperature are math, physics, chemistry, and dates.
Is Temperature a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?

How is temperature differ from thermal energy?
Thermal Energy is theTOTAL Ek of atoms in a substance.Temperature is the measure of the AVERAGE Ek of the atoms in a substance.Thermal energy: The total amount of kinetic energy contained in all the particles of a substance. The greater the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance, the more thermal energy the substance has. But thermal energy also depends on the number of particles in a substance. The more particles a substance contains, the greater its thermal energy.Temperature vs. Heat :When you think of temperature, you probably think "hot" or "cold." To scientists, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The more kinetic energy the particles have, the higher the temperature of the substance. Unlike thermal energy, however, temperature is not affected by the number of particles the substance contains.(Taken from: Sciencesaurus A Student Handbook Pp. 301-302)
Is it possible to add thermal energy to a substance and not to raise its temperature?
Thermal energy is simply just another term for temperature. Adding thermal energy to any substance will always create a rise in temperature. The only way it would be possible to add thermal energy to a substance without seeing any net increase in temperature would be if the substance lost an equal amount of thermal energy at the same time.Answer:At the melting point and boiling point any input of thermal energy goes to the change of state rather than the rise in temperature. As a consequence boilling water stays at 100oC until it is all evaporated and melting ice stays at 0oC until the entire mass is melted
