Answer and Explanation:
Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.
Ring opening of epoxide with acid:
In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)
Ring opening of epoxide with base:
The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

Answer : The total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 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,
According to the law of conservation of mass,
Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side
Total mass of 
= Total mass of 
or,
Total mass of = Mass of 
+ Mass of 
As we are given :
Total mass of 
= 16.12 grams
The mass of 
= 9.72 grams
So,
Total mass of = Mass of + Mass of
Therefore, the total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams
