ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
The kinetic molecular theory gives the equation for the collision frequency as shown below.
Where is the mean free path and is the root mean square velocity.
Theis given by the equation as follows.
Where, M is the mass, T is the temperature and the R is the universal gas constant equal to .
Given,
