What is the relationship between temperature and the distribution of molecular speeds?
Options
- AHigher temperature results in a narrower distribution
- BHigher temperature results in a broader distribution
- CTemperature does not affect the distribution
- DHigher temperature results in a lower number of molecules
Correct answer
B. Higher temperature results in a broader distribution
Step-by-step solution
Higher temperature results in a broader distribution of molecular speeds, as shown in the plot.
