Mean Free Path: the Mean Free Path of an Oxygen

question 118

Multiple Choice

Mean free path: 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.
