Answer: Silver chloride (AgCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3).

Explanation: Silver nitrate is AgNO3 with Ag having a +1 charge and NO3 having a -1 charge. Sodium chloride is NaCl with Na having a +1 charge and Cl having a -1 charge. Because all charges are one there will be no change in the number of atoms involved. So this will just be a double replacement reaction swapping the negatively charged atoms/molecules. This results in NO3 trading places with Cl giving us AgCl and NaNO3
