10.3 The Boltzman Distribution Flashcards
1
Q
Do all particles have the same kinetic energy at the same temp?
A
No
2
Q
What is the x and y axis of the Boltzmann distribution?
A
X- kinetic energy
Y- particles with kinetic energy
3
Q
What does the area under the Boltzmann distribution graph represent?
A
Number of particles
4
Q
How is a lower activation energy represented on the Boltzmann distribution graph?
A
More particles have sufficient energy as area under graph to a point is larger
5
Q
How does temp affect the Boltzman distribution graph?
A
Flattens it and moves it right
So area under graph increases
