Explain the effect on reaction by Boltzman and Maxwell graph. |
|
Answer» Solution :All the MOLECULES in the REACTING species do not have the same kinetic energy since it is difficult to predict the behaviour of any ONE molecule with precision. Maxwell and Boltzmann used statistics to predict the behaviout of large number of molecules. Fraction of molecules=`(N_(E))/(N_(T))` Where,`N_(E)=E` kinetic energy containing molecule. `N_(T)` =Total number of molecules the plot of fraction of molecule `((N_(E))/(N_(T)))` kinetic energy is as  This plot contain RELATION of mole fraction and kinetic energy The peak of the curve corresponds to the most probable kinetic energy i.e. kinetic energy of MAXIMUM fraction of molecules . There are decreasing number of molecules with energies higher or lower then this value. |
