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.
