Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o. what is the molecular formula for this gas? express your answer as a chemical formula.

Assuming we have 100 g of sample

30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

4.34/2.185 = 2

for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

so the empirical formula would be NO2

without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question

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.
