Around #3.4# grams of silver nitrate per liter of the solution.

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you want to prepare #1 \ "L"# of an aqueous silver nitrate solution with a concentration of #0.02 \ "M"#.

Since the concentration is #0.02 \ "M"#, and we need to prepare #1 \ "L"# of the solution, we would use #0.02 \ "mol"# of silver nitrate.

Silver nitrate has a molar mass of #169.87 \ "g/mol"#.

So here, we would need,

#0.02color(red)cancelcolor(black)"mol"*(169.87 \ "g")/(color(red)cancelcolor(black)"mol")~~3.4 \ "g"#
