I think you are mistaken. Oxygen is not used in photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is used instead. Actually oxygen is given out after photosynthesis.

Experiment to prove the necessity of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis

To prove the necessity of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis following steps need to do
Insert a part of the leaf of a destarched plant into a conical flask containing potassium hydroxide.
Potassium hydroxide solution absorbs the carbon dioxide gas from the air present in the glass bottle.
Leave the plant sunlight.
After few hours, perform a starch test to this and another leaf of the same plant.
Observation-
Leaf exposed to the atmosphere are bluish black.
Leaf exposed to KOH does not change to blue-black colour
Result- Starch is present in the green part of the leaf.
Conclusion- Presence of starch proves that chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis as it traps sunlight.
