Taking a gas to be ideal and confined to a rigid metal box, find an expression for how quickly the mean free path of said gas changes if the temperature is dropping cubically with time (T=T0- At^3) If the initial pressure of the gas is 105 Pa, the intermolecular radius is 2 Ångström, and the initial temperature is 325 K and drops 1 K in the first second, what is the rate of change of the mean free path with respect to time after 6 seconds?
