Answer:
D.) 2,000 kilocalories would be the correct answer.
Explanation:
Answer:
Gibbs equation helps us to predict the spontaneity of reaction on the basis of enthalpy and entropy values directly. When the reaction is exothermic, enthalpy of the system is negative making Gibbs free energy negative. Hence, we can say that all exothermic reactions are spontaneous.
. The energy of shells in a hydrogen atom is calculated by the formula E = -Eo/n^2 where n is any integer, and Eo = 2.179X10^-18 J. So, the energy of a ground state electron in hydrogen is:
E = -2.179X10^-18 J / 1^2 = -2.179X10^-21 kJ
Consequently, to ionize this electron would require the input of 2.179X10^-21 kJ
2. The wavelength of a photon with this energy would be:
Energy = hc/wavelength
wavelength = hc/energy
wavelength = 6.626X10^-34 Js (2.998X10^8 m/s) / 2.179X10^-18 J = 9.116X10^-8 m
Converting to nanometers gives: 91.16 nm
3. Repeat the calculation in 1, but using n=5.
4. Repeat the calculation in 2 using the energy calculated in 3.
In the context of chemistry, yes. Energy input is always equal to the energy output.
