Detailed Solution

When K2SO4 (aq) is electeolysed the product formed at anode is O2 and at cathode is H2

According to Faraday's law of electrolyis , 

w= zQ 

w= mass of substance .

Q= charge .

z= electrochemical equivalent .

Electrochemical equivalent (z)is defined as the mass of substnace deposited when one coulomb of electricity is passed through the electrolyte. 

z= Equivalent weight 96500

Hence the mass of oxygen O formed when one coulomb of elceticity passed = Equivalent weight of O2 96500=896500g
