I need the full chemical equation.

it's called a double replacement reaction (the Cl and NO3 switch places):
CaCl + HNO3 --> Ca(NO3) + HCl
EDIT: are you sure it's not *CaCl2*? if it is, then this would be the real double replacement reaction (don't forget to balance the equation):
CaCl2 + 2HNO3 --> Ca(NO3)2 + 2HCl

CaCl2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2
Calcium chloride and nitric acid give calcium nitrate, water and carbon dioxde.
In general any carbonate with any acid give carbon dioxde, water and the salt of that acid. Note the slight correction in the formula for calcium chloride.

I don't see why there should be any reaction.
Calcium nitrate & calcium chloride are both soluble, so you won't make an insoluble salt.
I rather think you'd get a solution of calcium chloride in nitric acid.
Now, if it had been calcium carbonate & nitric acid, there would have been a vigorous reaction.

It's been a long time since I studied Chemistry, but it probably goes something like this:
CaCl2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + Cl2 + H2

CaNO3 and HCl
calcium nitrate and hydrochloric acid
oh the things you learn from year 10 science.. actually i'm probably wrong coz my teacher sucks
