Is this a homework problem?
First, you need to look up the molecular formulas for potassium chlorate, potassium chloride (not chlorate) and oxygen and then write it as an equation:
KClO3 = KCl + O2
Then balance the equation. (Hint: The KCl is already balanced. All you have to do is balance the oxygen).
