The ratios which are needed to determine the mass of oxygen produced from the decomposition of 10 grams of potassium chlorate are;

31.998 g O2 : 1 mole O2
3 mole O2 : 2 mole KClO3
112.55 g KClO31 mole KClO3

From stoichiometry;

We can conclude that according to the reaction;

3 moles of oxygen requires 2 moles of KClO3 to be produced.

And from molar mass analysis;

31.998 g O2 is equivalent to 1 mole O2
O2112.55 g KClO3 is equivalent to 1 mole KClO3
