Statement 1: On raising the temperature, the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution curve becomes broader and flatter.
Statement 2: On raising the temperature, the fraction of molecules having the most probable speed increases.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Statement I is correct: with the area under the curve fixed (total molecules), a higher T spreads the distribution and lowers the peak. Statement II is incorrect: the fraction at the most probable speed is the peak height, which decreases (the most probable speed itself increases, but fewer molecules possess exactly that speed). I correct, II incorrect. Ans: (c).
