Moles of potassium nitrate #= 0.002# #"mol"#

Explanation:

To work out the no. of moles of a liquid, we have a formula

#n=cv#

where #n# is the number of moles and #cv# is the is the concentration in #"mol dm^-3"# multiplied by the volume in #"dm"^-3#

Here the concentration is given and the volume is #0.01# #"dm"^3#

So,

Number of moles of Potassium nitrate #=0.01×0.2=0.002# #"mol"#
