Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf KCl_((aq))+Na_((aq)) \longrightarrow K_((l))+NaCl_((aq))}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical formulas for every compound:

Potassium vapor =>
$K_{(l)$

Molten soldium chloride =>
NaCl_((aq))

Molten Potassium chloride =>
KCl_((aq))

Molten Sodium Metal =>
Na_((aq))

The reaction will be as follows:

$KCl_((aq))+Na_((aq)) \longrightarrow K_((l))+NaCl_((aq))$

This reaction is usually called displacement reaction in which an element displaces another element of a compund.
