The distribution of molecular energies in a sample of a gas at a given temperature is shown by the Boltzmann distribution graph below.
If the temperature is increased, what will happen to the position of point X?
fewer molecules possess the most probable energy value so X will shift to the right
fewer molecules possess the most probable energy value so X will shift to the left
more molecules possess the most probable energy value so X will shift to the left
the position of X will stay the same but the area under the distribution curve increases
