Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the elements present in the compound AgCl, which are silver (Ag) and chlorine (Cl).
2. Find the atomic masses of each element from the periodic table: silver (Ag) has an atomic mass of approximately 107.87 g/mol, and chlorine (Cl) has an atomic mass of approximately 35.45 g/mol.
3. Add the atomic masses of silver and chlorine to find the molar mass of AgCl using the formula: \(\text{Molar mass of AgCl} = \text{Atomic mass of Ag} + \text{Atomic mass of Cl}\).
4. Substitute the values into the formula: \(\text{Molar mass of AgCl} = 107.87\, \text{g/mol} + 35.45\, \text{g/mol}\).
5. Sum the values to get the total molar mass of AgCl (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the addition).
