Question

If the pressure of a gas is increased then what happen to mean free path

Answer 1

✨Hi friend here is ur answer ✨

The pressure of a gas increases then the mean free path decreases. because, as gas density increases the molecules became closer to each other. Therefore, they are more likely to run into each other, so the mean free path decreases. increasing the number of molecules or decreasing the volume causes density to increase. so, the mean free path decreases.
