At 20ºC two balloons of equal volume and porosity are filled to a pressure of 2 atm, one with 14 - Chemistry - Liquid and Gaseous States

Question

At 20ºC two balloons of equal volume and porosity are filled
to a pressure of 2 atm, one with 14 kg N2 & other
with 1 kg H2 The N2 balloon leaks to a
pressure of 1/2 atm in one hour How long will it take for
H2 balloon to leaks to a pressure of 1 atm

Dear student,

According to graham's law of diffusion,

rN2rH2=PN2PH2MH2MN2
Since pressure drop is same for both,
Putting the values in the above expression will give

Pressure dropN260 minPressure dropH2t=140002810002228On solving t=16 mins

Hope this helps,

Regards
