Given that, formula of first oxide = M3O4
Let mass of the metal = x
% of metal in M3O4 = (3x / 3x + 64) * 100
but as given % age = (100 - 27.6) = 72.4%
so, (3x / 3x + 64) * 100 = 72.4
or x = 56.
in 2nd oxide,
oxygen = 30%....so metal = 70%
so, the ratio is
M : O
70 / 56 : 30 / 16
1.25 : 1.875
2 : 3
so, 2nd oxide is M2O3
