What the curve shows

Maxwell-Boltzmann curves for the same gas sample at lower and higher temperature with a fixed activation energy line and a larger high-energy area at higher temperature A Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution shows how molecular energies are spread in a gas at one temperature. The x-axis is energy, EEE, and the y-axis is number of molecules.
