Problem

Aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, producing a white solid as described by the net ionic equation Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq)→AgCl(s)\text{Ag}^+(aq)+\text{Cl}^-(aq)\rightarrow \text{AgCl}(s). Determine whether the overall process is a chemical change or a physical change, and describe one observable piece of evidence that supports your classification.
