Halliday, Resnick & Walker β The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 32
At $20^\circ\text{C}$ and $750\text{ torr}$ pressure, the mean free paths for argon gas (Ar) and nitrogen gas ($\text{N}_2$) are $\lambda_{\text{Ar}} = 9.9 \times 10^{-6}\text{ cm}$ and $\lambda_{\text{N}_2} = 27.5 \times 10^{-6}\text{ cm}$. (a) Find the ratio of the diameter of an Ar atom to that of an $\text{N}_2$ molecule. What is the mean free path of argon at (b) $20^\circ\text{C}$ and $150\text{ torr}$, and (c) $-40^\circ\text{C}$ and $750\text{ torr}$?
