    [What has "aluminum chlorate" got to do with this question?]

    Reaction A:

    2 KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

    Reaction B:

    4 KMnO4 → 2 K2MnO4 + 2 MnO + 3 O2

    [Although it is difficult to believe in the existence of "MnO".]

    [It's also difficult to believe the "aqueous solution".  Where did the water come from?  It certainly cannot come from the decomposition of KMnO4 which contains no hydrogen.]

    mass of Potassium permanganate (g) = 18.71 g - 12.34 g = 6.37 g

    mass of solid product (g) = 16.47 g - 12.34 g = 4.13 g
