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 `1.0overset@ A`. Compare the collision time with the time the molecule moves freely between two successive collisions (Molecular mass of `N_2` = 28.0 u).
