Answer

The molar mass for $C_2H_4Cl_2$ is equal to 98.95 g.

Work Step by Step

1. Find the molar mass for each element in this compound: $C: 12.01g$ $H: 1.008g$ $Cl: 35.45g$ 2. Multiply each one of them by their respective subscript number. For the elements that are enclosed in brackets, also multiply them by the subscript of the brackets: $C: 12.01g * 2= 24.02g $ $H: 1.008g * 4= 4.032g $ $Cl: 35.45g * 2= 70.90g$ 3. Calculate the total sum of these values: $24.02g + 4.032g + 70.90g = 98.95g$
