The pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydrogen will leak more quickly than oxygen.
REASON & EXPLANATION:
According to graham law of diffusion, the rate of diffusions of certain gas is inversely proportional to its molecular mass and density. i. e. smaller the molecular mass and density,greater will be the rate of diffusion and vice versa. As the hydrogen is lighter than the oxygen, so the molecular mass and density is lower than that of oxygen, so the pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydrogen will leak more quickly than if it is containing oxygen.

∙ 14y agoNo matter how tight a container is, it is limited to the molecular structure of the material it is constructed from. Hydrogen is the smallest atom on the Periodic Table. An Oxygen atom is considerably larger than a Hydrogen atom. The Hydrogen will actually leak from the container faster, due to its small size. It actually leaks into and through the material of the container.

(Hydrogen is a smaller molecule and thus can escape via smaller flaws.)

Given three cylinders containing O2 gasat the same volume and pressure cylinder a is a -20 cylinder b is at -15 f cylinder c is at 260 k which cylinder contains the largest mass of oxygen?
Cylinder A
How many elements are in a water molecule?
Two different types: Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
The attraction of water particles to each other?
Strong hydrogen bonds as the Oxygen is really electronegative and the hydrogen is really unelectronegative. The hydrogen bonds to the oxygen of another molecule.
Is velocity of sound maximum in hydrogen oxygen ammonia or in nitrogen?
hydrogen
In what the state of matter is oxygen?
Oxygen can be a solid, liquid, or gas, depending on the temperature and pressure and on what other elements it is bound to in a chemical compound. Free molecular oxygen, as found in the Earth's atmosphere, is a gas. Oxygen bound with hydrogen in the Earth's oceans is a liquid. Oxygen bound with iron in iron oxide (rust) is a solid.

Cylinder A
What is a greenhouse gas containing only hydrogen and oxygen?
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that contains only hydrogen and oxygen.
What are groups of compounds containing carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
Carbohydrate
What is the function of Oxygen cylinder regulator?
it regulate the oxygen pressure
What is abhurite?
Abhurite is a mineral containing tin, oxygen, hydrogen and chlorine.
What is carbonhydrate made of?
Molecules containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms
What is an aksaite?
An aksaite is a mineral containing magnesium, boron, oxygen, and hydrogen.
How does the composition a mixture of hydrogen differ from the compound containing hydrogen and oxygen?
The compound is water - H2O; the molecule of hydrogen is H2.
What type of atoms do carbohydrates contain?
Carbohydrates fall into the general formula Cx(H2O)y, each molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
How does the composition of a mixture of hydrogen any oxygen differ from the compound containing hydrogen and oxygen?
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would consist of separate H2 and O2 molecules. The hydrogen and oxygen would retain their own properties. The most common compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. In it the two elements are combined into molecules of H2O, which has its own set of properties distinct from those of hydrogen or oxygen.

In what form do elements such as hydrogen normally occur?
Hydrogen is formed as molecule containing two atoms, just as nitrogen, and oxygen.
