"If a container with porous wall filled with a mixture of two gases is placed in an evacuated space, the lighter of the two gases will escape out sooner. "Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the lighter gas escapes from a porous container faster than the heavier gas when placed in an evacuated space, we can analyze the situation step by step using the principles of kinetic theory of gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a container with porous walls filled with a mixture of two gases, A and B. - Gas A is lighter (lower density) than gas B. ...
