Answer:

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more thermal energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more average kinetic energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is defined as the energy posses by an object because of kinetic energy of atoms present in it.

These atoms moves in a great pace or more rapidly when heat is transferred to them hence more the heat more will be the kinetic energy of the material.

In this case, hot chocolate is in large pot and thus has more temperature than the other mug.

Which explains it has more kinetic energy as well as more thermal energy.
