The molecular weight of Silver hexafluorophosphate [AgPF₆] is 252.832380976.

Silver hexafluorophosphate [AgPF₆] is an inorganic compound of two elements: Silver (Ag), Phosphorus (P), and Fluorine (F). The molecular weight of Silver hexafluorophosphate is 252.832380976 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Silver, Phosphorus, and Fluorine.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Silver hexafluorophosphate [AgPF₆] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Silver hexafluorophosphate molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Silver hexafluorophosphate molecule. The chemical formula of Silver hexafluorophosphate is AgPF₆. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Silver hexafluorophosphate has one Silver (Ag) atom, one Phosphorus (P) atom, and six Fluorine (F) 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 Phosphorus (P): 30.973761998 (Ref: Jlab-ele015)
Atomic weight of Fluorine (F): 18.998403163 (Ref: Pubchem-9, Ciaaw-fluorine)

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

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

Number of Phosphorus atoms in Silver hexafluorophosphate: 1
Atomic weight of Phosphorus (P): 30.973761998
Total weight of Phosphorus atoms in Silver hexafluorophosphate: 30.973761998 x 1 = 30.973761998

Number of Fluorine atoms in Silver hexafluorophosphate: 6
Atomic weight of Fluorine: 18.998403163
Total weight of Fluorine atoms in Silver hexafluorophosphate: 18.998403163 x 6 = 113.990419

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

Molecular weight of Silver hexafluorophosphate (AgPF₆): 107.8682 (Silver) + 30.973761998 (Phosphorus) + 18.998403163 (Fluorine) = 252.832380976

So the molecular weight of Silver hexafluorophosphate is 252.832380976.
