Question

Maxwell's law of distribution of molecular velocities

Answer 1

As a consequence, the curves flatten out as the higher temperatures make additional higher-velocity states of motion more accessible. ... The Maxwell-Boltzmann equation, which forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases, defines the distribution of speeds for a gas at a certain temperature

Answer 2

Answer:

ln any gas, the molecules randomly collide against each other. So the velocity of an individual gas molecule changes continuously. At any instant, the speed of the molecules vary over a wide range. However, the velocity distribution remain fixed in a steady state. James clerk Maxwell was the first to derive the mathematical relation for the most probable distribution speed among the molecules of gas.
