In physical chemistry, the mean free path is the average distance between the atoms during collision. Its formula is
where d is the diameter of the Nitrogen atom (d = 310 x 10^-7 m), Na is Avogadro's number (Na=6.022 x 10^23), R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol-K), T is the absolute temperature (T= 20 + 273 = 293 K). Substituting the values,
P = 6.32 x 10^-13 Pascals
