Both calcium chloride and silver nitrate are soluble in water. If you swap the names you get silver chloride and calcium nitrate. Silver chloride is insoluble and calcium nitrate is soluble. So if you mix a solution of calcium chloride and a solution of silver nitrate, an insoluble precipitate of silver chloride will form and calcium nitrate will remain in solution. The balanced equation is
CaCl2(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) -----> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2 (aq)

A white precipitate of silver chloride, AgCl. This is the test for chloride ions in solution.

A white precipitate. The rest is left to you as an exercise as this is likely a homework question, right?
