Which of the following describes the qualitative behavior of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution as temperature increases? You will have to press the "reset" button on the applet before you can change the temperature using the thermometer on the right side. The histogram used in this problem is obviously only an approximation of the true distribution of velocities in a gas. In reality, the molecules span a continuous range of velocities. For a given temperature, the majority of the molecules have a speed near the average speed, with a few molecules traveling very fast or very slow. To good approximation, the speeds of molecules in a gas follow what is known as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. This applet allows you to see the curves for the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution at many different temperatures. It also lets you move a small interval around on the histogram to highlight all of the molecules within the speed range of that part of the histogram. Which of the following describes the qualitative behavior of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution as temperature increases? You will have to press the "reset" button on the applet before you can change the temperature using the thermometer on the right side.

A.The peak moves to the right, while the distribution becomes more spread out.

B.The peak moves to the right, while the distribution becomes less spread out.

C.The peak moves to the left, while the distribution becomes more spread out.

D.The peak moves to the left, while the distribution becomes less spread out.
