Answers
The answer is zero. No amount of oxygen will produce KClO3. What you meant to ask, I'm sure, is "how many moles of KClO3 will be needed to produce 8 moles O2. That answer is
8 moles O2 x (2 moles KClO3/3 mols O2) = 8*2/3 = 16/3 mols
8 moles O2 x (2 moles KClO3/3 mols O2) = 8*2/3 = 16/3 mols
2KCIO3 → 2KCI + 3O2
