Consider a gas for which the diameter of molecules is $\sigma$. The gas is at a pressure $P$ and temperature $T$,and $N_a$ is Avogadro's number. What is the mean free path along the $x$-axis?

  • A
    $\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2} P N_a \pi \sigma^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{RT}{\sqrt{3} P N_a \pi \sigma^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{RT}{\sqrt{6} P N_a \pi \sigma^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{RT}{P N_a \pi \sigma^2}$
