This type of reaction is called double displacement reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction is as follows:

#"AgNO"_3("aq") + "NaCl(aq)"##rarr##"AgCl(s)" + "NaNO"_3("aq")#

This type of reaction produces a solid, insoluble precipitate from two aqueous solutions. It is also called an aqueous metathesis reaction.
