Answer:

answer A

Explanation:

A) the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformation → True . Since the entropy increases , the amount of energy that can not be converted to useful energy increases and since the total amount of energy is conserved, the quantity of useful energy decreases.

B) energy can be neither created nor destroyed → False in the context of entropy , since the energy is conserved regardless of the changes in entropy (First law → conservation of energy vs second law → increase of entropy)

C)  life should be impossible → False . Since the second law states that the entropy of the <u>universe </u>increases with time . Then the system (life) can experience a decrease in entropy  at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)

D) it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organisation → False . Same as C. A system  can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)

The Lyman series results from excited state hydrogen atoms transiting to
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

I can't draw diagrams on this web site but I can do with numbers I think. So an electron is moved from n = 1 to n = 5. I'm assuming I've interpreted the problem correctly; if not you will need to make a correction. I'm assuming that you know the electron in the n = 1 state is the ground state so the 4th exited state moves it to the n = 5 level.

n = 5 4th excited state

n = 4 3rd excited state

n = 3 2nd excited state

n = 2 1st excited state

n = 1 ground state

Here are the possible spectral lines.

n = 5 to 4, n = 5 to 3, n = 5 to 2, n = 5 to 1 or 4 lines.

n = 4 to 3, 4 to 2, 4 to 1 = 3 lines

n = 3 to 2, 3 to 1 = 2 lines

n = 2 to 1 = 1 line. Add 'em up. I get 10.

b. The Lyman series is from whatever to n = 1. Count the above that end in n = 1.

c.The E for any level is -21.8E-19 Joules/n^2

To find the E for any transition (delta E) take E for upper n and subtract from the E for the lower n and that gives you delta E for the transition.

So for n = 5 to n = 1, use -Efor 5 -(-Efor 1) = + something which I'll leave for you. You could convert that to wavelength in meters with delta E = hc/wavelength. You might want to try it for the Balmer series (n ending in n = 2). I think the red line is about 650 nm.
