Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and Silver Nitrate (AgNO3) are both soluble in water and begin the reaction in an aqueous (aq) state.
However, when the two substances combine in solution, a white precipitate forms. The white precipitate is Silver Chloride (AgCl) which is practically insoluble in water...which is why it forms a solid precipitate. The Sodium and Nitrate ions remain behind in solution to form an aqueous solution of Sodium Nitrate.
AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq) --> NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)
Since the Na+ and NO3- ions are in solution on both the product and reactant side of the equation one can omit them when writting the net ionic reaction,
Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) --> AgCl (s)
Silver+1 ions and Chloride -1 ions combine to form a solid, white, Silver Chloride precipitate.
The fact that the white, AgCl, precipitate forms is a way to visually confirm that a reaction occurs when the two solutions are mixed.

AgNO3 + NaCl ==> AgCl + NaNO3 It doesn't need to be balanced any more. Thats it! I'm doing a lab tonight using that same equation! Funny! But I doubt we're doing the same thing.... r u doing Fajan's method? finding % chloride? if you are and you know how to do it answer my question cuz im stumped... If you aren't and you're confused, forget what I said and hope my answer helps!

NaCl + AgNO3 -> AgCl + NaNO3
Not much balancing involved, I'm afraid.

NaCl+AgNO3=NaNO3+AgCl
White precipitate of silver chloride will get.

AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq) = AgCl (s) + NaNO3 (aq)
