Weight of $Ca$ = $40$
Weight of $Cl$ = $35.5$

Molecular formula is $CaCl_2$ i.e. $1$ atom of $Ca$ and $2$ atoms of $Cl$.

Hence, molecular weight = $"1 x 40 + 2 x 35.5"$ = 40 + 71 = $111$ $g$/$"mol"$. But if you look at the weight online, it says $110.98$ $g$/$"mol"$, which is close to $111$.

Hope this helps!
