12.10 Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at 2.0 atm and temperature

17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

. Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly

1.0 \AA

. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions (Molecular mass of

\mathrm{N}_{2}=28.0 \mathrm{u}
