I`ve got a small problem that I hope someone could help me with.

 

Is this a redox reaction?

KCl03(s) ---> KCl(s) +O2(g)

 

If it is a redoxreaction, what is oxidated and what is reducated?

Yes, it is a redox reaction. Chlorine goes from oxidation state +5 to oxidation state -1. Oxygen goes from oxidation state -2 to oxidation state 0.

 

KClO3 in fact oxidizes and reduces itself at the same time.
