The molecular weight of Silver oxalate [Ag₂C₂O₄] is 303.7554.

Silver oxalate [Ag₂C₂O₄] is an inorganic compound of three elements: Silver, Carbon, and Oxygen. The molecular weight of Silver oxalate is 303.7554 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Silver, Carbon, and oxygen.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Silver oxalate [Ag₂C₂O₄] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Silver oxalate molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Silver oxalate molecule. The chemical formula of Silver oxalate is Ag₂C₂O₄. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Silver oxalate has two Silver (Ag) atoms, two Carbon (C) atoms, and four Oxygen (O) 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)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

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

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

Number of Carbon atoms in Silver oxalate: 2
Atomic weight of Carbon: 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Silver oxalate: 12.0107 x 1 = 24.0214

Number of Oxygen atoms in Silver oxalate: 4
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Silver oxalate: 15.9994 x 4 = 63.9976

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

Molecular weight of Silver oxalate [Ag₂C₂O₄]: 215.7364 (Silver) + 24.0214 (Carbon) + 63.9976 (Oxygen) = 303.7554

So the molecular weight of Silver oxalate is 303.7554.
