The molar mass of a compound is just the molar masses of every element in the compound added up. Since the molar mass of Calcium is 40.08 g and the molar mass of Chlorine is 35.45, it would be 40.08 g + 35.45 g + 35.45 g That leaves you with 110.98g.

Step-by-step explanation:

how to find the molar mass of a compound.
