Problem

A solution initially contains 4 Na+\mathrm{Na^{+}} ions and 4 Cl−\mathrm{Cl^{-}} ions. A second solution contains 4 Ag+\mathrm{Ag^{+}} ions and 4 NO3−\mathrm{NO_{3}^{-}} ions. After the two solutions are combined, a white solid forms and the liquid phase now contains only the 4 Na+\mathrm{Na^{+}} ions and 4 NO3−\mathrm{NO_{3}^{-}} ions. Identify the spectator ions present in this process.
