Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution Pogil Answer Key Extension Questions -

The peak (most probable speed) increases and shifts to the right, but the height of the peak decreases .

The extension questions in the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution POGIL activity challenge students to apply kinetic molecular theory to complex scenarios like absolute zero, changing moles of gas, and activation energy in chemical reactions. Extension Question 1: Theoretical Absolute Zero The peak (most probable speed) increases and shifts

Using the assumption of a uniform distribution of molecular velocities, the probability distribution of velocities can be written as: changing moles of gas

Consider a reaction with a high activation energy (Ea = 100 kJ/mol) at room temperature. Would increasing the temperature from 300 K to 310 K or adding a catalyst (lowering Ea to 50 kJ/mol) have a larger effect on the reaction rate? The peak (most probable speed) increases and shifts
