Question:
A container of nitrogen is at 2.00 atm of pressure and has a temperature of 400K. If we treat the nitrogen atom as a sphere of radius {eq}r = 1.00 \times 10^{-10} \; \textrm{m} {/eq} and assume hard scattering, what would be the mean free path for the hydrogen atom?
Mean free path
The free path is a physical concept from the kinetic theory of gases that defines the distance between two successive collisions of molecules of a gas. It represents then the average distance that a particle travels on a medium before it interacts with another.
