Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 53

53 In a certain particle accelerator, protons travel around a circular path of diameter 23.0 m in an evacuated chamber, whose residual gas is at 295 K and \(5.00 \times 10^{-7}\) torr pressure. (a) Calculate the number of gas molecules per cubic centimeter at this pressure. (b) What is the mean free path of the gas molecules if the molecular diameter is \(2.00 \times 10^{-8}\) cm?
