The Mean Free Path of an Oxygen Molecule Is 2

question 25

Multiple Choice

The mean free path of an oxygen molecule is 2.0 × 10^-5 m,when the gas is at a pressure of 120 Pa and a temperature of 275 K.The molecular mass of oxygen is 32.0 g/mol and the Boltzmann constant is 1.38 × 10^-23 J/K,Avogadro's number is 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mole,and the ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/mol ∙ K = 0.0821 L ∙ atm/mol ∙ K.Assuming that the molecules are moving at their root-mean-square speeds,the average time interval between collisions of an oxygen molecule is closest to

• A)20 ns.
• B)43 ns.
• C)95 ns.
• D)200 ns.
• E)420 ns.
