Solution

The correct option is C 137
BaCl2+2AgNO3==>2AgCl+Ba(NO3)2

1.38gAgCl×1moleAgCl143.3gAgCl×1moleBaCl22molesAgCl=0.00482molesBaCl2

molesBaCl2=gramsBaCl2formulawt.BaCl2
formulawt.BaCl2=gramsXCl2molesBaCl2=1.000.00482=208

So BaCl2=208amu
Ba=2082Cl=2082(35.5)=137amu
So atomic weight of Ba is 137
