1. Find the atomic masses:
* Aluminum (Al): 26.98 g/mol
* Chlorine (Cl): 35.45 g/mol
2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by its subscript in the formula:
* Aluminum: 26.98 g/mol * 1 = 26.98 g/mol
* Chlorine: 35.45 g/mol * 3 = 106.35 g/mol
3. Add the results together:
* 26.98 g/mol + 106.35 g/mol = 133.33 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) is 133.33 g/mol.
