The molecular weight of Silver acetylide [Ag₂C₂] is 239.7578.

Silver acetylide [Ag₂C₂] is an inorganic compound of two elements: Silver and Carbon. The molecular weight of Silver acetylide is 239.7578 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Silver and Carbon.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Silver acetylide [Ag₂C₂] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Silver acetylide molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Silver acetylide molecule. The chemical formula of Silver acetylide is Ag₂C₂. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Silver acetylide has two Silver (Ag) atoms and two Carbon (C) atoms.

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

Atomic weight of Silver (Ag): 107.8682 (Ref: Jlab-ele047, ciaaw-silver)
Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107 (Ref: Jlab-ele006)

Step 3: Calculate the molecular weight of Silver acetylide by adding the total weight of all atoms.

Number of Silver atoms in Silver acetylide: 2
Atomic weight of Silver: 107.8682
Total weight of Silver atoms in Silver acetylide: 107.8682 x 2 = 215.7364

Number of Carbon atoms in Silver acetylide: 2
Atomic weight of Carbon: 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Silver acetylide: 79.904 x 2 = 24.0214

Step 4: Calculate the molecular weight of Silver acetylide by adding up the total weight of all atoms.

Molecular weight of Silver acetylide (Ag2C2 ): 215.7364 (Silver) + 24.0214 (Carbon) = 239.7578

So the molecular weight of Silver acetylide is 239.7578.
