Increase the temperature
Oxygen gas is evolved when potassium chlorate is heated. The thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate releases oxygen gas, leaving behind potassium chloride as a residue. This reaction is commonly used in oxygen-generating experiments and processes.
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.
Thermal decomposition is the process by which chemical bonds are broken in the presence of heat. Decomposition temperature is the temperature at which thermal decomposition occurs, which differs for different compounds.
Solids melt on heating. A2. But if you are thinking of the destruction of the material, perhaps pyrolysis is what you seek.
The thermal decomposition reaction of zinc carbonate can be represented by the equation: ZnCO3(s) → ZnO(s) + CO2(g)

Potassium chloride is stable to thermal degradation.
The reaction is similar to that of Sodium Bicarbonate and Ammonium Carbonate combined: NH4HCO3 <--> NH3 + H2O + CO2 NOTE: All the products are gaseous and transparent. this means the thermal decomposition appears to turn into 'nothing'.
When heating potassium chlorate, it decomposes to form potassium chloride and oxygen gas. The reaction is catalyzed by heat and may be vigorous, resulting in the release of oxygen gas and leaving behind a residue of potassium chloride.
2KNO3 (s) ==heat==> 2KNO2(s) + O2(g) potassium nitrate decomposes to potassium nitrite and oxygen. NB Note the spelling for the product.
To collect oxygen gas produced from the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate (KClO3), you would use an upside-down test tube or gas jar, set up in a fume hood or well-ventilated area. The reaction is typically facilitated by heating KClO3 in the presence of a catalyst like manganese dioxide (MnO2). The oxygen gas generated can be collected over water, but for dry oxygen, direct collection in an inverted container is preferred.
Barium chlorate (Ba(ClO3)2) can undergo thermal decomposition to produce barium chloride (BaCl2) and oxygen gas (O2). This reaction typically occurs at high temperatures.
When potassium manganate is thermally decomposed, it decomposes into potassium manganate(VII) and oxygen gas. The reaction produces a green residue of potassium manganate(VII) and releases oxygen gas as a byproduct.
Thermal decomposition is the process by which chemical bonds are broken in the presence of heat. Decomposition temperature is the temperature at which thermal decomposition occurs, which differs for different compounds.
The thermal decomposition has the following equation: CaCO3 --------CaO + CO2
