Solution

Dear student,

Potassium chlorate $\to$ Potassium chloride + Oxygen
The chemical equation for the word equation written above is:
KClO₃ $\to$ KCl + O₂
To balance the equation we balance the Oxygen first, by multiplying the oxygen on right hand side with 3 and KClO₃ on the left side with 2. Then KCl is multiplied by 2 to obtain the balanced chemical equation as follows:
2 KClO₃ $\to$ 2 KCl + 3 O₂
