#NaCl(aq) + AgNO_3(aq) rarr NaNO_3(aq) + AgCl(s) darr#

Explanation:

Any chemical reaction conserves both mass and charge. Given that in the equation above, the nitrate ion is along for the ride, I could write the net ionic equation:

#Ag^+ + Cl^(-) rarr AgCl(s)darr#

Both mass and charge are conserved as before, and mass and charge MUST be conserved to represent a valid chemical process.
