Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution Pogil Answer Key Extension Questions Jun 2026

) at the same temperature, which will have a broader distribution? will have the broader, flatter distribution. Reasoning:

| Extension Topic | Does M-B Curve Change? | What Changes the Rate? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Increase Temperature | Yes (Flattens, shifts right) | Higher fraction > (E_a) | | Add Catalyst | No | (E_a) decreases (threshold moves left) | | Reduce Pressure/Vacuum | No | Total collisions decrease, but distribution shape same | | Heavier Isotope | Yes (Peak shifts left) | Lower average speed reduces collision frequency | ) at the same temperature, which will have
