**Molecular formula:** KClO₃
**Molar mass:** 122,549 g/mol
**Information:** Potassium chlorate is a very dangerous, poisonous, highly reactive, white crystalline substance. It is a very strong oxidizing agent. It is an ionic compound formed by potassium cation K⁺ and chlorinated anion Cl0₃⁻. Thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate produces oxygen.
**Use:** It is used as an oxidizing agent in pyrotechnics, however, if possible, it is replaced by perchlorates, which are somewhat more secure. Thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate produces oxygen.
