Answer: 2KCIO3 - 2KCI + O2

Explanation: To balance the given equation we need to start with the simplest element. To begin with O2, there is O3 so to balance it we need to multiple both sides by 2. It makes KCI on the reactions side also 2 so multiple 2 with KCI on the reactant side to get the final balanced
