#2AgNO_3(aq)+ZnCl_2(aq)->2AgCl(s)+Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)#

Explanation:

This is a double displacement, or precipitate, reaction where the metal cations of two products swap anions: #AB+CD->AD+CB#

The reason this reaction occurs is because 1 of the products is insoluble in water, meaning when this reaction takes place in water a solid precipitate would form indicating a chemical reaction.

The solubility of each compound is determined by the solubility rules below:
