The molecular weight of Silver azide [AgN₃] is 149.88842.

Silver azide [AgN₃] is an inorganic compound of two elements: Silver and Nitrogen. The molecular weight of Silver azide is 149.88842 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Silver and Nitrogen.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Silver azide [AgN₃] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Silver azide molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Silver azide molecule. The chemical formula of Silver azide is AgN₃. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Silver azide has one Silver (Ag) atom and three one Nitrogen (N) 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 Nitrogen (N): 14.00674 (Ref: Jlab-ele007)

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

Number of Silver atoms in Silver azide: 1
Atomic weight of Silver: 107.8682
Total weight of Silver atoms in Silver azide: 107.8682 x 1 = 107.8682

Number of Nitrogen atoms in Silver azide: 3
Atomic weight of Nitrogen: 14.00674
Total weight of Nitrogen atoms in Silver azide: 14.00674 x 3 = 42.02022

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

Molecular weight of Silver azide (AgNO₃): 107.8682 (Silver) + 42.02022 (Nitrogen) = 149.88842

So the molecular weight of Silver azide is 149.88842.
