The mean free path for a gas,with molecular diameter $d$ and number density $n$,can be expressed as:

Every real gas behaves as an ideal gas:

Ten small planes are flying at a speed of $150 \ km/h$ in total darkness in an air space that is $20 \times 20 \times 1.5 \ km^3$ in volume. You are in one of the planes, flying at random within this space with no way of knowing where the other planes are. On the average, about how long a time will elapse between near collisions with your plane? Assume for this rough computation that a safety region around the plane can be approximated by a sphere of radius $10 \ m$.

Under which of the following conditions is the law $PV = RT$ obeyed most closely by a real gas?

Calculate the value of mean free path $(\lambda)$ for oxygen molecules at temperature $27^{\circ} C$ and pressure $1.01 \times 10^{5} Pa$. Assume the molecular diameter $d = 0.3 nm$ and the gas is ideal. Given Boltzmann constant $k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} J K^{-1}$. (Result in $nm$)
