This graph represents a population of molecules in a gas versus the distribution of the average velocity(speed) of its molecules in that population. Assume all molecules to be of the same mass. In reading the graph, it is important to note three things. One, is the most probable speed is at the peak of the curve. Secondly, the most probable speed increases as the temperature increases (so shift to the right), and the distribution broadens as it increases.
On the graph, indicate the average kinetic energy of the population.
Explain your answer.
What part of the graph indicates the temperature of the sample?
Explain your answer.
Sketch a curve that represents the distribution of molecules at a temperature below the one shown. Label it as T2. Describe both T and T2 in terms of their average kinetic energy. Be specific and detailed.
Submit your answer below.
Answer:
Part A
Given that the graph is symmetrical and bell shaped, the average kinetic energy is given by the midline of graph, which corresponds to the common speed of the highest number of the population
Part B
The formula for the average kinetic energy, K.E. = (3/2)·(R/NA)·T
Therefore, the part of the graph that indicates the temperature of the sample is the average kinetic energy. K.E.
Part C
At a lower temperature, the heat is less evenly distributed and we have the distribution T2 higher than T1

Explanation:
What is the uses of seawater as a source of renewable energy?
Explanation:
Desalination of seawater is considered a renewable source of water, although reducing its dependence on fossil fuel energy is needed for it to be fully renewable.
Which statement explains why catalysts are important for living
organisms? *
Catalysts increase the amount of product formed from limited reactants.
Catalysts cause gases to be produced at a slower rate, so cells don't burst.
Catalysts are used up during chemical reactions, so organisms must constantly make
new ones.
Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism
lives.
Answer:
Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
Explanation:
Catalysts are molecules that speeden the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. In a living system, the catalyst are ENZYMES, which help to hasten up many biochemical reactions.
Another function of catalyst in living systems is that it allows chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
