Best Answer

we often find a chromium plating on kitchen gas burners which not only provides a shiny appearance but also helps to avoid corrosion and effects of 'wear and tear' and scratches. some coatings help to increase the strength of the base metal.

What is the formula for chromium III sulfide?

Chromium III is Cr3+. The roman numeral tells you the charge. Sulfide is S2-. You can figure this out from the periodic table. Sulfur needs two electrons to be like Argon, the next noble gas. When they form a compound, they combine in a ratio such that the total positive charge balances the total negative charge. 2 Cr3+ ions have a total charge of +6. 3 S2- ions have a total charge of -6. So the formula is Cr2S3.

What happens when ammonium dichromate is strongly heated?

Ammonium dichromate, (NH4)2Cr2O7, decomposes when heated to produce chromium(III) oxide [Cr2O3], nitrogen gas, and water vapor: (NH4)2Cr2O7(s) --> Cr2O3(s) + N2(g) + 4H2O(g) While the ammonium dichromate decomposes, it gives off orange sparks and throws the green chromium(III) oxide crystals into the air, producing an effect that looks like a miniature volcanic eruption. The chromium(III) oxide crystals that are produced are "fluffier" than the original ammonium dichromate crystals, and even though a lot of the mass of the starting materials escapes as vapor, the product looks like a larger amount of material.
