molecular energies in a gas are expressed on a →
Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution
2
New cards
y - axis
number of particles
3
New cards
x axis
kinetic energy
4
New cards
why does the curve begin at the origin?
0 particles have 0 energy
5
New cards
highest point on the curve
most probable energy
6
New cards
second highest point on the curve
mean energy
7
New cards
lowest point on the curve
activation energy
8
New cards
changing reaction conditions =
shape of curve alters
-number of particles with energy greater than Ea is different
-total area under curve = total number of molecules in sample, so must remain constant
