The reaction is as follows:

AgNO3 + NaCl------->AgCl + NaNO3

The mole ratio is 1:1:1:1

Therefore 1mole of AgNO3 requires 1mole of NaCl to form 1 mole of AgCl.

Moles of AgCl2 formed:

Moles =  mass                   molar mass AgCl2 (108 +35.5=143.5 )
              molar mass                                              
  = 2.11/143.5  = 0.0147

mole ratio is 1:1 since moles of AgCl formed is 0.0147, the mole of Nacl used is also 0.0147.

Mass of Nacl used:
molar mass of NaCl= 58.5 (23+35.5)
mass = moles x molar mass
          = 0.0147 x 58.5 
          = 0.85995g

percentage purity:

find the percentage 0.85995 is of 2.2

0.85995   x  100%    =  39. 089 %
2.2
