This graph represents a population of molecules in a gas versus the distribution of the average velocity(speed) of its molecules in that population. Assume all molecules to be of the same mass. In reading the graph, it is important to note three things. One, is the most probable speed is at the peak of the curve. Secondly, the most probable speed increases as the temperature increases (so shift to the right), and the distribution broadens as it increases. On the graph, indicate the average kinetic energy of the population.

Explain your answer.

What part of the graph indicates the temperature of the sample?

Explain your answer.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
