Here is this chemical formula (it also has to be balanced) I have for homework, plzzzz solve it or help me!
it is: (the numbers are subscripts.)
Na2CO3 + AgNO3 =
ps. this is a "double displacment formula"

Basically what you are doing is breaking the compounds apart and switching the cations to get two new compounds. You have to take in account the charges to make correct compounds and then you balance.
In this problem what you have is
Na with a charge of +1
CO3 with a charge of -2
Ag with a charge of +1 and
NO3 with a charge of -1
So whatever is paired with the CO3 needs a charge of +2. In the first part there were two Na's to equal it's charge, and you'll also need two Ag's to equal the charge.
So that would be:
Na2CO3 + AgNO3 = NaNO3 + Ag2CO3
It's not been balanced yet. A balanced equation needs the same number of atoms on each side.
Currently on the reactant side you have:
2 Na
1 CO3
1 Ag
1 NO3
and on the product side you have
1 Na
1 CO3
2 Ag
1 NO3
Not balanced so you will need to find a way to balance it.
The balanced equation is:
Na2CO3 + 2 AgNO3 = 2 NaNO3 + Ag2CO3

First, Na2CO3 and AgNO3 are formulas and what you are examining in this case is the chemical equation or reaction. You are correct, it is double displacement and it is a precipitation reaction (I am assuming these are aqueous solutions). You switch the cations and anions to determine what products might be produced. So put the Na+ with the NO3- and put the Ag+ with the CO3 2- to give you NaNO3 and Ag2CO3. Ag2CO3 is insoluble and will precipitate from the solution. The balanced equation would be
Na2CO3 (aq) + 2AgNO3 (aq) --> 2NaNO3 (aq) + AgCO3 (s)

Yes, this is a dbl displacement because both anions exchange cations.
Silver carbonate precipitates out leaving sodium nitrate in soln (as ions mostly).
Na2CO3 + 2AgNO3 ---> Ag2CO3 (ppt) + 2NaNO3 (<---> 2Na+ + 2NO3- )
