Explanation:

Formulas for the compounds:

KCl: potassium chloride (reactant)
AgNO3: silver nitrate (reactant)
KNO3: potassium nitrate (product)
AgCl: silver chloride (product)

KCl + AgNO3KNO3+AgCl

If the compounds are in aqueous solution, then their physical states could be added.

KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq)KNO3(aq)+AgCl(s)
