Reaction kinetics — practice question

The Boltzmann distribution for a gas held at a constant temperature of $50\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ is illustrated. When the gas temperature is lowered by $10\,^{\circ}\text{C}$, the graph alters its shape. What change occurs in the values of $n$ for the molecular energies X, Y and Z?

  • AX higher, Y lower, Z higher
  • BX higher, Y lower, Z lower
  • CX lower, Y higher, Z lower
  • DX lower, Y lower, Z lower
