Can someone explain wht is meant by
34 Which statements correctly describe an effect of a rise in temperature on a gas-phase reaction?
1 More particles now have energies greater than the activation energy.
2 The energy distribution profile changes with more particles having the most probable energy.
3 The activation energy of the reaction is decreased.
The one marked in red ik the answer is 1 but I want to understand 2 plzz help

Ammonia is made by the Haber process. The reactants are nitrogen and hydrogen.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) ∆H –ve
What will increase the rate of the forward reaction?
A adding argon to the mixture but keeping the total volume constant
B decreasing the temperature
C increasing the total pressure by reducing the total volume at constant temperature
D removing ammonia as it is made but keeping the total volume of the mixture the same
And these one B and C both seem correct ?!

The energy distribution profile changes with more particles having the most probable energy.

Energy distribution profile refers to the profile showing the ethalpy change of a reaction and Activation energy of the reaction ...increasing the temperature will not effect it both will remain the same ......the statement is a bit confusing though.

The 'most probable energies' at a specific temperatures are the respective peaks
When temperature increases, the peak is lowered, thus less particles will have the most probable energy

The answer is B because the forward reaction is exothermic and a decrease in temperature will favor the forward reaction. if there is an increase in temperature it will favor the reverse reaction which is endothermic.

coniine is the major constituent of the poison ‘oil of hemlock’
Connine can be synthesised by reacting ammonia with a dibromo compound, X
