The molecular weight of Pyridinium chloride (C₅H₆NCl) is 115.56094.

Pyridinium chloride (C₅H₆NCl) is an organic compound of four elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Chlorine. The molecular weight of Pyridinium chloride is 115.56094 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of all its elements.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Pyridinium chloride  [C₅H₆NCl] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Pyridinium chloride molecule.
You will know different atoms and their number in a Pyridinium chloride molecule from the chemical formula. The chemical formula of Pyridinium chloride is C₅H₆NCl. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Pyridinium chloride consists of five Carbon (C) atoms, six Hydrogen (H) atoms, one Nitrogen (N) atom, and one Chlorine (Cl) atom.

Step 2: Find out the atomic weights of each atom (from the periodic table).

Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107 (Ref: Jlab-ele006)
Atomic weight of Hydrogen (H): 1.008 (Ref: Lanl-1)
Atomic weight of Nitrogen (N): 14.00674 (Ref: Jlab-ele007)
Atomic weight of Chlorine (Cl): 35.4527 (Ref: jlab-ele017)

Step 3: Calculate the total weight of each atom in a Pyridinium chloride molecule by multiplying its atomic weight by its number.

Number of Carbon atoms in Pyridinium chloride: 5
Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Pyridinium chloride: 12.0107 x 5 = 60.0535

Number of Hydrogen atoms in Pyridinium chloride: 6
Atomic weight of Hydrogen (H): 1.008
Total weight of Hydrogen atoms in Pyridinium chloride: 1.008 x 6 = 6.048

Number of Nitrogen atoms in Pyridinium chloride: 1
Atomic weight of Nitrogen (N): 14.00674
Total weight of Nitrogen atoms in Pyridinium chloride: 14.00674 x 1 = 14.00674

Number of Chlorine atoms in Haloxon: 1
Atomic weight of Chlorine (Cl): 35.4527
Total weight of Chlorine atoms in Haloxon: 35.4527 x 1 = 35.4527

Step 4: Calculate the molecular weight of Pyridinium chloride by adding up the total weight of all atoms.

Molecular weight of Pyridinium chloride: 60.0535 (Carbon) + 6.048 (Hydrogen) + 14.00674 (Nitrogen) + 35.4527 (Chlorine) = 115.56094

So the molecular weight of Pyridinium chloride is 115.56094.
