Mean Free Path & Real Gases

If nn is the number density and dd is the diameter of the molecule, then the average distance covered by a molecule between two successive collisions (i.e. mean free path) is represented by:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Mean free path: λ=12 nπd2\lambda = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}\,n\pi d^2}
  2. So the answer is (a).
