H2 is less dense than air. As a result, it will diffuse from the surrounding in to the porous pot at a faster rate. As a result, it will exert pressure, causing the liquid level at X to drop and stay at a lower level
Why stay at a lower level?
After a build up of hydrogen in the porous pot, shouldn't the Hydrogen start to diffuse out of the porous pot, causing the Level of water to return to its original position?
