The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution | AP Chemistry | Khan Academy

The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution describes the distribution of speeds among the particles in a sample of gas at a given temperature. The distribution is often represented graphically, with particle speed on the x-axis and relative number of particles on the y-axis.

    I just learned from aother online class from Reginald Penner that this maxwell boltzmann distribution is not the description of all states but the whole distribution is showing only the most probable state, so this curve is not the whole reality but the most probable one. There is a misunderstanding that this curve describes everything in a system but not, just the most probable case, I mean not one point of it or the maximum of it but the whole curve!

    This seems over simplified. What you described are just Gaussian distributions of various particle speeds, emphasizing how the sigmas and means change as functions of speeds; perceived as different temperatures. I'd like to learn more. I suppose that a given particle changes its speed over time.

  • @unFayemous

    @unFayemous

    7 жыл бұрын

    Emir Selman no, because having the highest probability means the highest amount of particles will have this speed (as compared to other speeds). Since the Y axis describes the amount of particles that should have that speed, the most probable speed will have the largest amount of particles, thus have the highest Y value.
