the identity of gas is not mentioned but I assume nitrogen. would the second equation be possible in which needs only the pressure and cross section section to calculate the mean free path.

Homework Statement I do need to calculate the mean free path for an ion with a radius of 9 x 10‐8 cm in pressures of 10‐8 Torr, 10‐6 Torr, 10‐4 Torr and 10‐2 Torr Homework Equations There are different equations I found but the most one is λ= 1/Nσ N gas number density which I do not...
