Figure 1 shows a maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of molecular energies of a sample of gas at a fixed temperature. (a) Label the y axis. (b) On Figure 1, sketch a maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for the same sample of gas at a lower temperature.

(a) number of molecules (1 mark).(b) maxima is displaced up and to the left (1 mark)all of the following: (1 mark)curve starts at the origin,candidate’s curve crosses the original line only once,candidate’s curve outlines a similar area to the original curve and;candidate’s curve does not touch the x axis.
