Question:

a. A standard rotary pump is capable of producing a vacuum on the order of 10−3 Torr. What is the single-particle collisional frequency and mean free path for N2 at this pressure and 298 K?

b. A cryogenic pump can produce a vacuum on the order of 10–10 Torr. What is the collisional frequency and mean free path for N2 at this pressure and 298 K?

For  N2, σ = 4.3 × 10–19  m2 (see Table 33.1) and M = 0.028 kg mol–1.
