    This document calculates various properties of helium, argon, hydrogen, and nitrogen gases at 273K including the mean free path Λ using equation 9.8.11 and the collision cross section σ. It imports constants, defines molecular weights and masses, calculates specific gas constants, mean free paths, and collision cross sections. It then prints the ratio of Λ to the square root of σ for each gas at 273K and for helium at 20K.
