Calculate the number density and the mean free path for a water molecule that is in the vapor phase above a sample of water boiling at 373.15 K and 1.000 atm. Assume the diameter of a water molecule is 2.65 Å which is a measurement called the "kinetic" diameter. This means it represents the "target" size of the molecule when colliding with other molecules, a logical measurement to be used to calculate the mean free path.

The motion picture Titanic described the tragedy of the collision of the ocean liner of the same name with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The ship sank soon after the collision on April 14, 1912, and now rests on the seafloor at a depth of 12252 ft. Recently, the wreck was explored by the research vessel Nautile, which has successfully recovered a variety of items from the debris field surrounding the sunken ship. Calculate the pressure in atmospheres and pounds per square inch exerted on the hull of the Nautile as it explores the sea bed surrounding the Titanic. P=____
