Meticulous:
What does the area under the Maxwell Boltzmann graph represent?

I say its the total Kinetic Energy of the gas.

Thanks in advance

nid404:
Area under the curve corresponds to the total number of particles.

Meticulous:
But how is that?

You multiply the Energy x the Number of molecules..You should get the total energy in the gas..right?

nid404:
naah....

You multiply

the no.of molecules with a particular energy level X the energy....

check the ppt

Meticulous:
I guess it depends on the graph given.

Thanks anyway.
