Molecular speed distribution curves for a sample of argon gas at three temperatures.
Molecular speed distribution curves for a sample of argon gas at three temperatures.
A student measures the molecular speed distribution of a 1.0 mol sample of \(\text{Ar(g)}\) in a rigid container under three different thermal conditions, resulting in curves 1, 2, and 3 shown in the graph below.

Which of the following correctly ranks the temperatures \(T_1\), \(T_2\), and \(T_3\) from lowest to highest and provides the correct justification?
