The mean free path of nitrogen molecules at 2.3°c and 1.28 atm is 1.51 x 10-5 cm. at this temperature and pressure there are 3.41 x 1019 molecules/cm3. what is the molecular diameter?

Answer : The molecular diameter is, [/tex]

Explanation :

Formula used for mean free path :

where,

= Mean free path =

d = diameter of molecule = ?

= number of molecules per unit volume  =

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

[/tex]

Therefore, the molecular diameter is, [/tex]

the energy to form plasma comes from heat or electricity in the atmosphere!

the molecules move in straight line until they collide with each other or with the walls of the container. collisions are perfectly elastic; when two molecules collide, they change their directions and kinetic energies, but the total kinetic energy is conserved.
