What is the label for the x-axis? {Ans: Energy}Why should the energy distribution go through the origin on the graph? {Ans: There are no molecules with no energy}What happens to the peak of the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution when the temperature is increased? {Ans: It moves to a higher energy with a lower height}What does the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution show? {Ans: The spread of energies that molecules of a gas or liquid have at a particular temperature}Define activation energy {Ans: The minimum energy needed for particles to collide to start a reaction}In terms of the collision theory, what happens to the particles when the surface area is increased? {Ans: It causes collisions to occur more frequently, increasing the rate of reaction}
