Solution
Double decomposition reaction:
“Those reactions in which two compounds react by an exchange of ions to form two new compounds are called double displacement reactions”.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{silver nitrate}}{AgNO3} + \underset{\text{sodium chloride}}{NaCl}->\underset{\text{white ppt. (silver chloride)}}{AgCl} + \underset{\text{sodium nitrate}}{NaNO3}}\]
