The molecular weight of Silver fulminate [AgCNO] is 149.88504.

Silver fulminate [AgCNO] is an inorganic compound of four elements: Silver, Carbon, Nitrogen, and oxygen. The molecular weight of Silver fulminate is 149.88504 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Silver, Carbon, Nitrogen, and oxygen.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Silver fulminate [AgCNO] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Silver fulminate molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Silver fulminate molecule. The chemical formula of Silver fulminate is AgCNO. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Silver fulminate has one Silver (Ag) atom, one Carbon (C) atom, one Nitrogen (N) atom, and one Oxygen (O) atom.

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)
Atomic weight of Nitrogen (N): 14.00674 (Ref: Jlab-ele007)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

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

Number of Silver atoms in Silver fulminate: 1
Atomic weight of Silver (Ag): 107.8682
Total weight of Silver atoms in Silver fulminate: 107.8682 x 1 = 107.8682

Number of Carbon atoms in Silver fulminate: 1
Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Silver fulminate: 79.904 x 1 = 12.0107

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

Number of Oxygen atoms in Silver acetate: 1
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Silver acetate: 15.9994 x 1 = 15.9994

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

Molecular weight of Silver fulminate (AgCNO): 107.8682 (Silver) + 12.0107 (Carbon) + 14.00674 (Nitrogen) + 15.9994 (Oxygen) = 149.88504

So the molecular weight of Silver fulminate is 149.88504.
