When aqueous solutions of AgNO₃ and NaCl are mixed, AgCl precipitates. The balanced net ionic equation is __________. A)Ag⁺ (aq)+ Cl^- (aq)→ AgCl (s) B)Ag⁺ (aq)+ NO₃^- (aq)→ AgNO₃ (s) C)Ag⁺ (aq)+ NO₃^- (aq)→ AgNO (aq) D)AgNO₃ (aq)+ NaCl (aq)→ AgCl (s)+ NaNO₃ (aq) E)AgNO₃ (aq)+ NaCl (aq)→ AgCl (aq)+ NaNO₃ (s)

The net ionic equation only includes the ions that form the precipitate, AgCl, which is insoluble in water. The other ions, Na⁺ and NO₃^-, remain in solution and are not part of the net ionic equation.
