Answer:
to keep the surfer from slipping off the board
Explanation:
Surfboard wax (also known as surfwax) is a formulation of natural and/or synthetic wax for application to the deck of a surfboard, bodyboard, or skimboard, to keep the surfer from slipping off the board when paddling out or riding a wave. It is also used to increase grip on the paddle of a surf kayak or dragon boat.
Given data:
Hydrogen (H) = 3.730 % by mass
Carbon (C) = 44.44%
Nitrogen (N) = 51.83 %
This means that if the sample weighs 100 g then:
Mass of H = 3.730 g
Mass of C = 44.44 g
Mass of N = 51.83 g
Now, calculate the # moles of each element:
# moles of H = 3.730 g/ 1 g.mole-1 = 3.730 moles
# moles of C = 44.44/12 = 3.703 moles
# moles of N = 51.83/14 = 3.702 moles
Divide by the lowest # moles:
H = 3.730/3.702 = 1
C = 3.703/3.702 = 1
N = 3.702/3.702 = 1
Empirical Formula = HCN
pressure increases as depth increases.
CuCl2 is Dichloride Copper, or Copper II Chloride.
In this Molecule, there is 1 atom of Copper for every 2 atoms of Chlorine.
If you go to the periodic table, you'll see that copper has a mass of 63.5 amu, and the chlorine 35.45 amu.
Which mean that the mass of CuCl2 is 63.5 + 35.45*2 = 63.5 + 70.9 = 134.4 g/mol.
Then, you find the ration of the mass of each atom and multiply by 100.
Ratio of Copper:

and you get about 47.2%
Ration of chlorice (Cl2):

and you get about 52.8%.
So, the percent composition of CuCl2 is 47.2% of Copper and 52.8% of chlorine.
Hope this Helps :)
