ABSTRACT
It is shown that the formula available in the literature for the distribution of the mean free paths of gas molecules, independent of pressure and temperature, produces obviously incorrect results. Accordingly, a conclusion is given for another formula for a given distribution, which depends on the size of the gas molecules, as well as temperature and pressure. In accordance with this formula, the distribution curve for oxygen at 1000 K and pressures 1 and 0.001 atm has been calculated.
