This type of reaction is called double displacement reaction.

The reaction is as follows:

${AgNO}_{3} (aq) + NaCl(aq)$ $"AgNO"_3("aq") + "NaCl(aq)"$ $\to$ $rarr$ $AgCl(s) + {NaNO}_{3} (aq)$ $"AgCl(s)" + "NaNO"_3("aq")$

This type of reaction produces a solid, insoluble precipitate from two aqueous solutions. It is also called an aqueous metathesis reaction.
