Expert Solution
Balancing the decomposition reaction of KClO3:

Potassium chlorate decomposes to give potassium chloride and oxygen gas:

2 KClO3 2 KCl(s)  + 3O2(g)

Note: The unit gram mole means molar mass of molecule/atom/ions etc in grams.

1 gram mole = mass of one mole of molecule in grams.

Calculating the mole ratio of KClO3 and KCl

Since, 2 mol of KClO3 gives 2 mol of KCl,

hence, mole ratio of KClO3 : KCl = 2 : 1

Calculating the mole ratio of KClO3 to O2 gas:

Since, 2 mol of KClO3 gives 3 mol of O2 ,

hence, mole ratio of KClO3 : O2 = 2 : 3
