Question: Nitrogen and oxygen are held in a 0 . 5 d m 3 container maintained at 2 7 C at partial pressure of P N

Nitrogen and oxygen are held in a 0.5dm3 container maintained at 27C at partial pressure of PN2=0.8atm and PO2=0.2atm. Assuming that the collision diameters are N2=0.374nm and dO2=0.357nm and the values for d and the molecule numbers do not change. At 30C,(?bar(u)N22+bar(u)022)12=615ms-1,bar(u)N2=450ms-1,bar(u)02=420ms-1. Considering that all kinds of collision (collision between like-molecules and collision between unlike-molecules) in the container are taken into account, calculate
a. the average number of collision experienced in unit time by one molecule of N2 and by one molecule of O2 :
b. the total number of collision per unit volume and per unit time :
c. the mean free paths for like-molecules and for the unlike-molecules.
