As Kinetics Maxwell Boltzmann

The figure shows a typical energy distribution for particles of an ideal gas in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. Which of the following statements is true?

• Position A represents the mean energy of a molecule in the

  container.

• Addition of a catalyst moves the position of EA to the right.

• The area under the curve to the right of EA represents the

  number of molecules with enough energy to react.

• The position of the peak of the curve at a higher temperature

  is further away from both axes.
