$2 A g N O_{3} (a q) + C a C l_{2} (a q) \to 2 A g C l (s) ⏐ ↓ + 2 C a {(N O_{3})}_{2} (a q)$ $2AgNO_3(aq) + CaCl_2(aq) rarr 2AgCl(s)darr + 2Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)$

Explanation:

This is a simple metathesis or partner exchange reaction. Silver chloride is about as soluble as a brick, and precipitates from solution as a curdy white solid. Calcium chloride and calcium nitrate are soluble in aqueous solution.
