At S.T.P., the mean free path of gas molecule is 1500 d , where 'd' is diameter of molecule. What will be the mean free path at 373 K at constant volume?

  1. A 1500 d
  2. B \(\frac{373}{273} \times 1500 \mathrm{~d}\)
  3. C \(\frac{273}{373} \times 1500 \mathrm{~d}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{373}{273}} \times 1500 \mathrm{~d}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{373}{273} \times 1500 \mathrm{~d}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \pi d^2 n}\) At constant volume, the number density \(n\) remains constant.
