Answer is: AgNO₃ (aq) + NH₄Cl (aq) → AgCl (s) + NH₄NO₃ (aq).

aq (aqueous) means dissolved in water.

s (solid) means that salt (in this reaction AgCl) not dissolved in water.

In this chemical reaction silver has oxidation number + 1, nitrate - 1, ammonium + 1 and chloride - 1.

Silver chloride is white crystalline solid.
