A vessel of volume

V=30\,\text{L}

is separated into three equal parts by stationary semipermeable membranes. The left, middle, and right parts are filled with

m_{\mathrm H}=30\,\text{g}

of hydrogen,

m_{\mathrm O}=160\,\text{g}

of oxygen, and

m_{\mathrm N}=70\,\text{g}

of nitrogen, respectively. The left partition lets through only hydrogen, while the right partition lets through hydrogen and nitrogen. If the temperature in all compartments is

300\,\text{K}

, the ratio of pressures in the three compartments is (a)

4:9:5

(b)

1.3:4.5:2

(c)

9:4:5

(d)

9:5:4
