Decomposition by heat:
(KClO3)s --> (KCl)s + (O2)g
Potassium chloride is not a source of oxygen.
The reaction is:
KClO3 -----------------> 2 KCl + 3 O2
2KClO3 ----> 2KCl + 3O2
energy + 2KClO3 ---> 2KCl + 3O2
2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2
2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2
aluminium chloride and oxygen gas
Despite that potassium chlorate catches on fire when it gets heated in the open, if you put it in a test tube and heat that, instead of burning it will melt into molten form, and this stage of potassium chlorate is extremely reactive, any contact with anything combustible like sugar would cause combustion of it. This is the basis for the famous gummy bear and potassium chlorate experiment. The sugar in the gummy bear would combust on contact with the molten potassium chlorate, resulting in an violent reaction.
2KClO3 ---(MnO2)---> 2KCl + 302 **The MnO2 goes over the arrow.
It would decompose and turn molten. But be careful when you are doing it. Molten potassium chlorate is very nasty stuff. Spill it onto your skin, and it would leave a terrible burn. Potassium chlorate decomposes into oxygen, and when something that could burn, such as a gummy bear, is added to it, it rapidly combusts, driving the decomposition forward. If you spill molten potassium chlorate, you could think of the table, floor, your clothes, your skin, as another gummy bear. So be cautious when working with it.
2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2
Potassium Chlorate, when heated gives Potassium Chloride and Oxygen. You can use Manganese Dioxide as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.
This reaction is:2 KClO3 = 3 O2 + 2 KCl
On heating potassium chlorate decomposes on potassium chloride and oxygen. 2KClO3------>2KCl+3O2 9.8g of KClO3 are heated. Calculate a. the mass of KCl formed. b. the mass and volume, at (s.t.p) of O2 formed.

2KClO3 + HEAT = 2 KCl + 3 O2
