Answer:

Yes Hydrogen will leak more quickly than Oxygen.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is small. Very very small. It can perfuse through the tiniest passages and even slip into the spaces between larger molecules. Oxygen molecules are much larger.

kindly mark my answer as the brainliest if you think so and if possible.

Answer:

according to graham's law of diffusion,the rate of diffusion of a certain gas is inversely proportional to square root of its molecular mass.                                      r1/r2=under root(M1/M2)

Explanation:

hydrogen gas is lighter than oxygen there fore its molecular mass and density is less than oxygen and that's why rate of diffusion and pressure  of hydrogen gas is greater than oxygen.
