Maxwell-Boltzmann molecular speed distributions for \(\text{N}_2(g)\) at temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\).
Maxwell-Boltzmann molecular speed distributions for \(\text{N}_2(g)\) at temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\).
The distribution of molecular speeds for a sample of \(1.0 \text{ mol}\) of \(\text{N}_2(g)\) in a rigid container at two different temperatures, \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), is shown in the graph below.

Which of the following correctly compares \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) and provides the correct justification based on the root-mean-square speed (\(v_{\text{rms}}\)) of the gas molecules?
