1. Find the atomic masses of the elements:
* Beryllium (Be): 9.012 g/mol
* Chlorine (Cl): 35.453 g/mol
2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by its subscript in the formula:
* Be: 9.012 g/mol * 1 = 9.012 g/mol
* Cl: 35.453 g/mol * 2 = 70.906 g/mol
3. Add the results from step 2 to get the molar mass of BeCl₂:
9.012 g/mol + 70.906 g/mol = 79.918 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of beryllium chloride (BeCl₂) is 79.918 g/mol.
