Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The dependence of mean free path on density has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
The collisions among molecules and with the ramparts are completely elastic so that there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collisions. The size of the molecules is considerably small compared to the standard distance traversed by a molecule between any two consecutive collisions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The dependence of mean free path on temperature at constant volume has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:

(c)
Interpretation:
The dependence of mean free path on pressure at constant temperature has to be discussed.
