What does Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution show?
What does Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution show?
Distribution of molecular energies in gas
Peak of M-B curve represents
Peak of M-B curve represents
Most probable energy
Area under M-B curve represents
Area under M-B curve represents
Total number of molecules
M-B curve never touches x-axis, it is
M-B curve never touches x-axis, it is
Asymptotic
Higher temp effect on M-B curve
Higher temp effect on M-B curve
Shifts right and flattens
Higher temp effect on molecules with
Higher temp effect on molecules with
More molecules exceed
Lower temp effect on M-B curve
Lower temp effect on M-B curve
Shifts left and becomes taller
Lower temp effect on reaction rate
Lower temp effect on reaction rate
Slower (fewer molecules exceed )
Catalyst effect on
Catalyst effect on
Lowers it
Catalyst effect on M-B curve shape
Catalyst effect on M-B curve shape
Does not change it
