when solutions of NaCl and AgNO3 are mixed?

Question

The answer is a precipitate of NaNo3 and AgCl form. Can someone please help explain why this happens in more detail please.

Answer 1

The reason this happens is because AgCl is NOT soluble in water. So, what you have is the following equation:

AgCl(aq) + NaNO3(aq) ==>AgCl(s) + NaCl(aq)

Essentially, you have know the solubility rules to know that AgCl is INSOLUBLE.
