Step-by-step explanation:

Molar mass is defines as the mass present in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, calculate molar mass of
Al(CO_(2))_(3) as follows.

molar mass of
Al(ClO_(2))_(3) = molar mass of Al + 3 * (molar mass of carbon + 2 * molar mass of oxygen)

= 26.98 g/mol + 3 \times (35.45 g/mol + 2 \times 16 g/mol)

= 26.98 g/mol + 202.35

= 229.33 g/mol

Therefore, we can conclude that molar mass of
Al(CO_(2))_(3) is 229.33 g/mol.

molar mass of a compound is the sum of the products of molar masses of individual elements by the number of atoms of that element in the compound. atomic masses of the individual elements making up
Al(ClO₂) is

Al - 27 g/mol - 1 Al atom -- 27 x 1 = 27

Cl - 35.5 g/mol - 3 Cl atoms -- 35.45 x 3 = 106.35

O - 16 g/mol - 6 O atoms -- 16 x 6 = 96

total - 27 + 106.35 + 96 = 229.35 g/mol
