    An ideal gas at pressure ' P ' and temperature ' T ' is enclosed in a vessel of volume 'V'. Some gas leaks through a hole from the vessel and the pressure of the enclosed gas falls to ' P′P' '. Assuming that the temperature of the gas remains constant during the leakage, the number of moles of the gas that have leaked is

    A vessel has 66 gram of hydrogen at pressure PP and temperature 500500 K. A small hole is made in it so that hydrogen leaks out. How much hydrogen leaks out if the final pressure is P2\dfrac{P}{2} and the temperature falls to 300300 K?

    An ideal gas at pressure 'P' and temperature 'T' is enclosed in a vessel of volume 'V'. Some gas leaks through a hole from the vessel and the pressure of the enclosed gas falls to P1P^1. Assuming that the temperature of the gas remains constant during the leakage, the number of moles of the gas that have leaked is
