How would I write these word equations as chemical equations?

They need to be balanced too :(

zinc + proceed(II) nitrate yield zinc nitrate + proceed

aluminum bromide + chlorine yield aluminum chloride + bromine

potassium chlorate when heated yields potassium chloride + oxygen gas

I"m really comfussed >< ik you the element symbols I just dont get how you put it into the equation

1) Zn + Pb(NO3)2 --> Zn(NO3)2 + Pb

2) 2AlBr3 + 3Cl2 --> 2AlCl3 + 3Br2
.................
3) 2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2

, the delta symbol, represents heating in chemical equation.

Im not sure what exactly youre confused about. The balancing? The translating of a word equation into a chemical equation? The deriving of chemical formula for compound?

zinc + lead(II) nitrate yield zinc nitrate + lead

Zn(s) + Pb(No3)2(aq) --> Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)

aluminum bromide + chlorine yield aluminum chloride + bromine

2AlBr3(aq) + 3Cl2(g) --> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3Br2(l)

potassium chlorate when heated yield potassium chloride + oxygen gas

2KClO3(s) --> 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)

1. Zn +Pb (NO3)2 -------------------> Zn(NO3)2 +Pb
2. .2 Al (Br)3 +3 Cl2 ----------> 2 Al(Cl)3 + 3 Br2
3. 2K ClO3 -----------------------> 2KCl + 3O2
