The gases mix together.
Grahams law states the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional
to the square root of the vapour density

Mix together, and the mixture would increase in temperature. This is because of the entropy of mixing. It makes no difference that the butane is "heavy" nor that the hydrogen is "light." The disorder that accompanies mixing of gases increases the entropy.

they would be connected!
everything else depends on pressure, volume, height, how u connect them.
