Answer:


K^(+) and
NO_(3)^(-)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the reaction is AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) ==> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

With all the ions, it is


Ag^(+)(aq) +
NO_(3) ^(-)(aq) +
K^(+)(aq) +
Cl^(-)(aq) ==> AgCl(s) +


K^(+) and
NO_(3) ^(-) do not change, so they are the spectator ions and are removed

The ionic equation is:


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