The molecular weight of Silver perchlorate [AgClO₄] is 207.3185.

Silver perchlorate [AgClO₄] is an inorganic compound of three elements: Silver, Chlorine, and Oxygen. The molecular weight of Silver perchlorate is 207.3185 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of Silver, Chlorine, and Oxygen.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Silver perchlorate [AgClO₄] Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in a Silver perchlorate molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in a Silver perchlorate molecule. The chemical formula of Silver perchlorate is AgClO₄. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Silver perchlorate has one Silver (Ag) atom, one Chlorine (Cl) atom, 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 Chlorine (Cl): 35.4527 (Ref: Jlab-ele017)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

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

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

Number of Chlorine atoms in Silver perchlorate: 1
Atomic weight of Chlorine: 35.4527
Total weight of Chlorine atoms in Silver perchlorate: 35.4527 x 1 = 35.4527

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

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

Molecular weight of Silver perchlorate (AgClO₄): 107.8682 (Silver) + 35.4527 (Chlorine) + 63.9976 (Oxygen) = 207.3185

So the molecular weight of Silver perchlorate is 207.3185.
