    042 M

    Explanation:

    1) Write the molecular chemical equation

    MgCl₂ (aq) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) → 2AgCl (s) + Mg (NO₃) ₂ (aq)

    2) Mole ratios

    1 mol MgCl₂ : 2 mol AgNO₃ : 2 mol AgCl : 1 mol Mg (NO₃) ₂

    3) Number of moles of MgCl₂

    Molarity, M = 0.143 M volume = V = 22 mL = 0.022 liter number of moles, n

    M = n / V (in liter) ⇒ n - M * V = 0.143 M * 0.022 liter = 0.033146 mol

    4) Number of moles of AgNO₃

    Set a proportion, using the appropiate mole ratio and the number of moles of MgCl₂:

    1 mol MgCl₂ / 2 mol AgNO₃ = 0.033146 mol MgCl₂ / x

    Solve for x:

    x = 0.033146 mol MgCl₂ * 2 mol AgNO₃ / 1 mol MgCl₂ = 0.006292 mol AgNO₃

    4) Molarity AgNO₃

    M = n / V (in liter) = 0.006292 mol / 15 mL * 1000 mL / liter = 0.41947

    Round to two significant figures: 0.42 M ← answer
