Does anyone know how to write word equations?

For example:

Cu + H2SO4 ----> CuSO4 + SO2 + H2O

RbCl(cr) + O2(g) -----> RbClO4(cr)

Sn(cr) + KOH -----> K2

Plenty of people, but what exactly is your question?

You need to post a question, any relevant details and your attempt at an answer.
 
The question really is trivial. Name the compounds and the substances. Express the whole reaction in words. Naming the compounds is a process of academic translation from symbols to chemical names.
