Cr₂S₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of chromium (Cr) = 0.67 g

Mass of chromium sulfide = 1.2888 g

Empirical formula =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of sulphur (S) in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of chromium (Cr) = 0.67 g

Mass of chromium sulfide = 1.2888 g

Mass of sulphur (S) =?

Mass of S = (Mass of chromium sulfide) – (Mass of Cr)

Mass of S = 1.2888 – 0.67

Mass of S = 0.6188 g

Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Cr = 0.67 g

Mass of S = 0.6188 g

Divide by their molar mass

Cr = 0.67 / 52 = 0.013

S = 0.6188 / 32 = 0.019

Divide by the smallest

Cr = 0.013 / 0.013 = 1

S = 0.019 / 0.013 = 1.46

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

Cr = 1 × 2 = 2

S = 1.46 × 2 = 3

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is Cr₂S₃

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
