Detailed Solution

The mean free path (λ) of gas molecules is the average distance a molecule travels between collisions. In a simplified model, considering ideal gas behavior and neglecting molecular size, the expression for mean free path is:

kT2πd2P=12nπd2

Where:

  • k is the Boltzmann constant,
  • T is the temperature in Kelvin,
  • d is the diameter of a gas molecule,
  • P is the pressure.
  • n is the no of molecules per unit volume

It's important to note that this expression assumes a simple model of gas molecules as point particles and neglects molecular size, intermolecular forces, and other complexities. In reality, molecular size and interactions play a significant role in determining the mean free path.
