Detailed Solution

Rewriting the given equations,

12Cl2+24KOH12KCl+12KClO+12H2O 12KClO8KCl+4KClO3 4KClO3KCl+3KClO4 

Adding all the equations

12Cl2+24KOH21KCl+3KClO4+12H2O

Molecular weight =138.5

Applying  mole-mole analysis,

3 moles of KClO4 is obtained from 12 moles of Cl2 

100138.5 moles of KClO3 will be obtained from 12×1003×138.5=2.88 moles of Cl2 =2.888×71 = 205.05 gm of  Cl2
