Answer : The mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of 2HgO = Total mass of 2Hg+O_2

As we are given :

The mass of HgO = 25.3 grams

The mass of Hg = 23.4 grams

So,

2\times 25.3g=2\times 23.4g+\text{Mass of }O_2

50.6g=46.8g+\text{Mass of }O_2

\text{Mass of }O_2=3.8g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.
