Since there are immense numbers of moleciles moving abou Mn a gas itis to be expected that molecular encounters (or collisions) are of cardinal importance in. con- trolling the overall rate at which transport occurs. The collisions in turn are controlled by the forces of interaction between the molecules. By the for ‘ula of kinetic theory, knowledge of these funda- ‘mental intermolecular forces can lead to gaseous diffusion coefficients. ‘The importance of molecular collisions in dif. fusion can be illustrated by some typical numerical values.
