Maxwell-boltzman distribution

• What does the area under the graph equal?

  Total number of molecules
• What is the effect of a catalyst?

  Lowers the activation energy more molecules have a higher energy than required
• What is the effect of increased temperature?

  Particles gain more energy so the graph shifts right and has a lower peak
• What is the effect of decreased temperature?

  Particles less energy so the graph shifts left and has a higher peak
• What is the effect of increased pressure?

  Number molecules increases the total area of the graph increases and has a higher peak
