In #"potassium chlorate"#, I get #0.667*mol....# with respect to #KClO_3#...

Explanation:

To find a molar quantity of stuff we take the quotient....

#"mass of stuff"/"molar mass of stuff"=(81.7*g)/(122.55*g*mol^-1)=0.667*mol#...

Now each mole of #KClO_3# contains #19_K+17_"Cl"+3xx8_"O"=60*"nucular protons"xxN_A#, where #N_A-="Avogadro's Number"#....and here note that we speak of nuclear protons, massive, positively charged, nucular particles....

And so in the given quantity we take the product....

#60*"protons"xxN_Axx0.667*mol^-1=40xxN_A#....or #40*mol# of protons as required.
