Section A

1 Boltzmann distributions are shown in the diagrams.

In diagram 1, one curve, P or Q, corresponds to a temperature higher than that of the other
curve.

and the other line corresponds to the activation energy of the same reaction in the absence of a
catalyst.

Which combination gives the correct curve and line?
