The number of collisions per second with other gas molecules can be a function of the density of the gas sample, temperature of the gas sample, and the number of moles of gas.

The more gas particles per unit volume (density or number of moles), the more likely the gas particles will collide with each other. Also, more collisions can occur if the gas particles move at a greater velocity, which can be affected by temperature.
