Estimate the mean free path and collision frequency of a nitrogen molecule in a cylinder containing nitrogen at 2 atm and temperature `17^(@) C`. Take the radius of a nitrogen molecule to be roughly `1.0 Å`. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions. (Molecular mass of nitrogen = 28.0 u).
