    In the above reaction the Nitrate ions (NO3^-) and Potassium ion (K^+) are not actively involved in the reaction, hence they are spectactor ions. The only actively involved ions in the solution are the silver ions (Ag+) and the Choride ions (Cl^-), they react to form a white precipitate of Silver chloride as follows:

    Ag + (aq) + Cl - (aq) = >AgCl (s)

    . In the above scenario, the required answer is only NO3^ - (aq)
