Potassium chlorate `(KClO_(3))` on heating forms potassium chloride and oxygen. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.

Explanation

To write a balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chlorate `(KClO₃)` into potassium chloride `(KCl)` and oxygen `(O₂)`, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
The unbalanced chemical reaction can be written as:
\[ KClO_3 (s) \rightarrow KCl (s) + O_2 (g) \]

### Step 2: Count the number of atoms of each element
