Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at 2.0 atm and temperature `17^(@)C`. Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly 1.0Å. Compare the collision time with the time molecule moves freely between two successive collision `(M of N_(2)=28)`
