KClO - the chemical name is potassium hypochlorite, K - potassium, prefix of hypo for the single oxygen and chlorite for the ClO, the -ite suffix must be present with the hypo prefix. Hope this helps.

Raymond Chang. Chemistry, 9th ed.; McGraw-Hill: New York, 2007 also states that the chemical name for KClO is potassium hypochlorite.

I believe it should be a basic solution... When you have metals with a weak acid's anion, you receive basic solution in water.... HClO2, chlorous Acid, is a weak acid. The Potassium, K an alkali metal, is now where the H+ was, making it KClO2 and that acts as a base in water
