For a molecule of an ideal gas, the number density is 2 2 10^8 ~cm ⁻³ and the mean free path is 10⁻² cm . The diameter of the gas molecule is
Options
- A5 10⁻⁴ ~cm
- B0.5 10⁻⁴ ~cm
- C2.5 10⁻⁴ ~cm
- D4 10⁻⁴ ~cm
Correct answer
A. 5 10⁻⁴ ~cm
Step-by-step solution
Mean free path, aligned & = 1 2 n d^2 d^2 & = 1 2 n = 1 2 2 2 10^8 10⁻² d^2 & = 1 4 10^6 d & = 1 2 10⁻³ ~cm d & =5 10⁻⁴ ~cm aligned
