A balloon filled with ethylene is pricked with a needle and quickly dropped in a tank of `H_(2)` gas under identical conditions. After a while, the balloon will

Options

A. Shrunk
B. Enlarge
C. Completely collapse
D. Remain unchanged in size

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation using Graham's Law of Diffusion, which relates the rates of diffusion of two gases to their molar masses. Here’s a step-by-step solution:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Gases and Their Molar Masses**:
- The gas in the balloon is ethylene (C₂H₄).
- The molar mass of ethylene (C₂H₄) = 2(12) + 4(1) = 28 g/mol.
- The gas in the tank is hydrogen (H₂).
