Assumption of kinetic theory of gas?

Are collisions more common between gas molecules or liquid molecules?

Liquids. There are more collisions, but the majority are at lower energies.

What is effusions?

effusion is the process where individual molecules flow through a hole without collisions between molecules. effusion is the process where the gas molecules are passed through a small opening to an evacuated chamber
