    0.143 g of KCl.

    Explanation:

    Equation of the reaction:

    AgNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq) - -> AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq)

    Molar concentration = mass/volume

    = 0.16 * 0.012

    = 0.00192 mol AgNO3.

    By stoichiometry, 1 mole of AgNO3 reacts with 1 mole of KCl to form a precipitate.

    Number of moles of KCl = 0.00192 mol.

    Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5

    = 74.5 g/mol

    Mass = molar mass * number of moles

    = 74.5 * 0.00192

    = 0.143 g of KCl.
