Question

can you please answer the question in the picture

The Maxwell -Boltzmann distribution of energies, at a constant temperature.for a molecular gas is shown
below. The most probable molecular energy at thistemperature is indicated by E mp and the activation
energy by Ea
Number of
molecules
Emp
E,
Energy
Consider the following changes:
(1)
The number of molecules is increased at constant temperature.
(ii)
The temperature is decreased without changing the number of molecules.
A catalyst is introduced without changing the temperature or number of molecules.
For each change state how, if at all, the following would vary:
• the value of the most probable energy, Emp
• the number of molecules with the most probable energy, Emp
• the area under the molecular energy distribution curve
• the number of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy, Ea
