7.4x10^23 = molecules of silver nitrate sample
6.022x10^23 number of molecules per mole (Avogadro's number)
Divide molecules of AgNO3 by # of molecules per mol
7.4/6.022 = 1.229 mols AgNO3 (Sig Figs would put this at 1.3)
(I leave off the x10^23 because they both will divide out)
Use your periodic table to find the molar weight of silver nitrate.
107.868(Ag) + 14(N) + 3(16[O]) = 169.868g/mol AgNO3
Now multiply your moles of AgNO3 with your molar weight of AgNO3
1.229mol x 169.868g/mol = 208.767g AgNO3
The object has an overall positive charge.
