The graph shows the distribution of energy in the particles of two gas samples at different temperatures, T1 and T2. A, B, and C represent individual particles.
A graph is shown with two inverted graph curves running close to each other. One of the curves labeled T1 is slightly more spread out than the other labeled T2. The x axis of the graph has the title Kinetic Energy. The y axis of the graph has the title Number of Particles. A vertical line perpendicular to the x axis is shown. This vertical line is labeled Activation Energy. A point labeled B is shown on the right side of the vertical line. A point labeled A is shown in the lower left side of the vertical line. A particle labeled C is shown in the upper left side of the vertical line.
Based on the graph, which of the following statements is likely to be true?
a
Particle B is more likely to participate in the reaction than particle A.
b
Particle C is more likely to participate in the reaction than particle B.
c
Most of the gas particles have either very high or very low kinetic energies.
d
More gas particles participate in the reaction at T2 than at T1.
