HELLO MITUL
Moles of AgNO3 = 50x16.9/100 x 170
 See there is 50ml of 16.9% of AgNO3
therefore 16.9/100 = 0.169 of AgNO3 
Moles of AgNO3 = 50 x 0.169/molecular wt
                        =50 x 0.169/170
                               =0.05
so moles of AgNO3 = 0.05
Moles of NaCl = 50 x 5.8/100 x 58.5
                        =0.0495
so moles of NaCl = 0.05 moles
So AgNO3 + NaCl  gives   AgCl + NaNO3
so initial moles is
        0.05        0.05              0          
Mass of AgCl = MASS X MOLAR MASS
                     =0.05     X 143.5
                     =7.16g
THANK YOU
