The Boltzmann distribution shown below represents how molecular energies are spread among the molecules in a gas sample at a particular temperature. Which statement correctly describes how this distribution changes when the temperature is raised?
- AFewer molecules possess the most probable energy value and this value shifts to the left.
- BFewer molecules possess the most probable energy value and this value shifts to the right.
- CMore molecules possess the most probable energy value and this value shifts to the left.
- DThe area under the curve of the distribution increases.
