The gopher tortoise is native to North America. It digs burrows in the sandy soil of its habitat. These burrows are commonly used by more than 350 different species. Over the 20th century, the gopher tortoise population decreased by 80%. The top threats to the tortoise have been:

habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation due to roads, construction, mining, and agriculture
the methods humans use to get rid of rattlesnakes that shelter in the tortoises’ burrows
disease and predation
Solutions to these problems that are currently being used include:

Tortoises whose habitats are threatened can be relocated elsewhere for about $3,000 each.
Downsides: temporary solution, spreads disease, new location may not be safe

Laws have been passed forbidding the use of noxious gases or chemicals on tortoise burrows.
Downsides: difficult and costly to enforce

Gopher tortoise conservatories are being established to protect habitats for the tortoises.
Downsides: tortoise populations are too small and spread out to be stable
How can these three solutions be combined to reduce their downsides?

Consider hydrogen in an excited state n = 5n=5 that emits photons to reach the ground state. there are various possible transitions other than straight to the ground state that can occur; for example, it can drop to the n = 3n=3 state followed by the n = 3n=3 to the ground state transition. which of the possible transitions will result in the emission of a photon in the visible region?

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.)
