'' okay today we shall find that ordinary air has a density of about 0.001 g per - cubic meter, while liquid air has a density of about 1.0 g per -cubic meter
estimate the number of air molecules per cubic meter in ordinary air, nG, and in liquid air nL.
estimate the mass m of an air molecule.
estimate the average distance l an air molecule should travel between collisions at normal temperature and pressure (NTP,20 C at 1 atm).
estimate what pressure p in normal atmospheres, a vacuum system should be operated in order that the mean free path be about one meter.
You should be able to solve this with ease young ambitious undergrads''

Most people don't live in vacuum chambers.

i pulled this problem straight out of feynmans lectures, anyway to solve it ?

define air, define molecule, define distance, define collision, temperature, pressure

This is a complete waste of your time, just go look up the constants you need.
