2 AgNO3 (aq) → 2 Ag (s) + 2 NO2 (l) + O2 (g)
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
2 AgI + 2 e- → 2 Ag0 (reduction)
2 NV + 2 e- → 2 NIV (reduction)
2 O-II - 4 e- → 2 O0 (oxidation)
AgNO3 is an oxidizing agent, AgNO3 is an oxidizing agent, AgNO3 is a reducing agent.
This is a precipitation reaction: Ag is the formed precipitate.
This is a gas evolution reaction, O2 is the formed gas.
