A mixture of 0.50 mole of ${{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}$ and 0.50 mole of ${\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}$ is introduced into a 10.00 L container at ${\rm{2}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{0}}}{\rm{C}}$. The container has a pinhole leak. After a period of time, the partial pressure of ${{\rm{H}}_2}$ in the remaining mixture

Is less than that of ${\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_2}$

Exceeds that of ${\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_2}$

Is equal to that of ${\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_2}$

Is the same as in the original mixture

A mixture of 0.50 mole of

{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{2}}

and 0.50 mole of

\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_\mathrm{2}}

is introduced into a 10.00 L container at

\mathrm{2}{\mathrm{5}^\mathrm{0}}\mathrm{C}

. The container has a pinhole leak. After a period of time, the partial pressure of

{\mathrm{H}_2}

in the remaining mixture

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Is less than that of

\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2}

Option C (Is less than that of

\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}_2}

) is correct because H2 diffuses faster than SO2 through the pinhole, leading to a relatively lower partial pressure of H2 in the remaining mixture.
