A container has equal number of molecules of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. If a fine hole is made in the container, then which of the two gases shall leak out rapidly ?

Explanation

To determine which gas will leak out more rapidly from a container with equal numbers of hydrogen (H₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) molecules through a fine hole, we can use Graham's Law of Effusion. Here’s a step-by-step solution:

### Step 1: Understand Graham's Law of Effusion
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion (or leakage) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

\[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}} \]
