The laser pointer emits light because electrons in the material are excited (by a battery) from their ground state to an upper excited state. when the electrons return to the ground state, they lose the excess energy in the form of 536-nm photons. what is the energy gap between the ground state and excited state in the laser material?

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)
