Problem

In a particulate diagram of a precipitation reaction, the reactants side contains 4

\text{Ag}^+

ions, 4

\text{NO}_3^-

ions, 4

\text{Cl}^-

ions, and 4

\text{Na}^+

ions dispersed in aqueous solution. After the reaction, the products side shows 4 solid clusters, each consisting of one

\text{Ag}^+

ion bonded to one

\text{Cl}^-

ion, while the 4

\text{Na}^+

and 4

\text{NO}_3^-

ions remain free in solution. Write the balanced molecular equation that corresponds to the chemical change shown.
