#"80 mmol"# and #"5.96 g"#

#"Molarity" = "Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution (in litres)"#

#40 × 10^-3\ "M" = "n" / "2.00 L"#

#"n" = 40 × 10^-3\ "M" × "2.00 L" = 80 × 10^-3\ "mol" = color(blue)"80 mmol"#

#underline(color(white)(.jdjddhhhhhhh))#

Molar mass of #"KCl"# is #"74.5 g/mol"#

Mass of #"80 mmol"# of #"KCl"# is

#80 × 10^-3 cancel"mol" × 74.5 "g"/cancel"mol" = color(blue)"5.96 g"#
