When NaCl and AgNO3 are mixed, a double displacement reaction occurs, leading to the formation of NaNO3 and AgCl. AgCl is insoluble in water, which means it will form a precipitate. The solubility product (Ksp) of AgCl is given, which suggests that precipitation will occur even if the concentration of Ag+ and Cl- ions is low. Therefore, the correct choice is A.

An Aqueous Solution of 0
