silver and calcium nitrate will not react unless you supply a very large amount of heat. this is because calcium is higher on the reactvity table than silver. silver is one of the least reactive elements and will hardly react will anything. in this case, silver will not displace calcium from its compound because calcium is much more reactive than it is.
when u supply a very large amount of heat (i'm talking about kilojoules of heat here) u are forcing a reaction to take place but even then, i'm doubtful about any positive reaction actually occuring.

In reality it will not react since silver is lower on the activity series of metals than calcium. If it were to proceed the balanced equation would be:
2 Ag + Ca(NO3)2 ---> Ca + 2 AgNO3
The net ionic if this ever happened would be:
2 Ag(s) + Ca 2+ (aq) ---> Ca (s) + 2 Ag 1+ (aq)

probably aqueous silver nitrate, with a precipitate of calcium. but it depends on the mole ratios, since silver nitrate is AgNO3, but calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2

Ag + Ca(NO3)2 makes Ca+2 and AgNO3
Balanced:
2Ag + Ca(NO3)2 makes Ca+2 and 2AgNO3
The AgNO3 is soluble in water b/c all nitrates are soluble

i don't think it reacts becasue silver is too weak an active metal like calcium
