Mean free path of molecules in a polyatomic gas is independent of

  1. A number density of the molecules
  2. B volume of the molecule
  3. C temperature of the gas
  4. D gas constant R
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) gas constant R

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \text { Mean free path } & =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \pi d^2 n_V} \\ & =\frac{\mathbf{v} t}{\sqrt{2}\left(\pi d^2 \mathbf{v} t\right) n_V}=\frac{\mathbf{v} t}{\sqrt{2}(V) n_V}\end{aligned}\) where, \(d=\) size (diameter) of a molecule, \(n_V=\) number of molecules per…
