Answer:
The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa
Temperature T = 300 K
collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2
Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K
<u>To determine:</u>
The mean free path, λ
<u>Calculation:</u>
The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:
where n = number density
Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:
Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:
