13.10 Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at 2.0 atm and temperature 17 ? . Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly 1.0 Å. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions (Molecular mass of N2 = 28.0 u).

13.10 Pressure inside the cylinder containing nitrogen, P = 2.0 atm = 2 *1.013*105 Pa

Temperature inside the cylinder, T = 17 ?=290K

Radius of nitrogen molecule, r = 1.0 Å = 1 *10-10 m

Diameter of nitrogen molecule, d = 2 *10-10 m

Molecular mass of nitrogen molecule, M = 28 u = 28 g (assume) = 28 *10-3 kg

The root means square speed of
