Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution Pogil ((install)) [FAST]

Question on the slate: “Compare the area under the cold curve to the area under the hot curve. What do you notice?”

"And fewer very slow ones," adds Carlos dreamily. "The slow ones got promoted." maxwell boltzmann distribution pogil

Mya nods. "You are seeing the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The most probable speed is the peak. The average speed is a bit to the right of the peak. And the root-mean-square speed is further right still." Question on the slate: “Compare the area under

That night, the spores rest in their warm chamber. Carlos looks at the empty sugar crystal. A few heroic, fast-moving spores reached it and fed the whole colony. "You are seeing the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution

Professor Mya’s whispered question to the group: “What fraction of spores have zero speed?”

Question: “At the higher temperature, does the number of spores that can digest sugar double, or does it increase by a factor of ten?”
