Detailed Solution

 The chemical reaction is as follows:

NaCl+AgNO3AgCl+NaNO3

From the reaction we can say that 1 mol of NaCl gives 1 mol of AgCl.

We can use the following relation: W(NaCl)M(NaCl)=W(AgCl)M(AgCl)

W(NaCl)58=14.35143.5

W(NaCl)=5.845gm

Percentage of NaCl= %(NaCl)=5.8457×100=83.5%

Hence the correct option is (D).
