#2AgNO_3(aq) + CaCl_2(aq) rarr 2AgCl(s)darr + 2Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)#

Explanation:

This is a simple metathesis or partner exchange reaction. Silver chloride is about as soluble as a brick, and precipitates from solution as a curdy white solid. Calcium chloride and calcium nitrate are soluble in aqueous solution.
