The molecular weight of Arsenic pentoxide [As₂O₅] is 229.84019.

Arsenic pentoxide [As₂O₅] is an inorganic compound of two elements: Arsenic (As) and Oxygen (O). The molecular weight of Arsenic pentoxide is 229.84019 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of all its elements.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Arsenic pentoxide [As₂O₅] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in an Arsenic pentoxide molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in an Arsenic pentoxide molecule. The chemical formula of Arsenic pentoxide is As₂O₅. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Arsenic pentoxide consists of two Arsenic (As) atoms and five Oxygen (O) atoms.

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

Atomic weight of Arsenic (As): 74.921595 (Ref: Jlab-ele033, ciaaw-arsenic)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

Step 3: Calculate the molecular weight of Arsenic pentoxide by adding the total weight of all atoms.

Number of Arsenic (As) atoms in Arsenic pentoxide: 2
Atomic weight of Arsenic: 74.921595
Total weight of Arsenic atoms in Arsenic pentoxide: 74.921595 x 2 = 149.84319

Number of Oxygen (O) atoms in Arsenic pentoxide: 5
Atomic weight of Oxygen: 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Arsenic pentoxide: 15.9994 x 5 = 79.997

Step 4: Calculate the molecular weight of Arsenic pentoxide by adding up the total weight of all atoms.

Molecular weight of Arsenic pentoxide: 149.84319 (Arsenic) + 79.997 (Oxygen) = 229.84019

So the molecular weight of Arsenic pentoxide is 229.84019.
