in an experiment, two heated oxides X and Y of the same metal M were completely reduced by hydrogen.
the results were recorded as follows:
1.mass of oxide X=42.9g,mass of metal M left=38.1g
2.mass of oxide Y=15.9g,mass of metal M left=12.7g
if the formula of oxide X is M20 what is the formula of oxide Y?

Denote the molar mass of M as y g mol-1.
Molar mass of O = 16.0 g mol-1

Result 1: 42.9 g of M2O (X) contains 38.1 g of M.
Fraction by mass of M in M2O = 2y/(2y 16) = 38.1/42.9
Hence, y = 63.5
The molar mass of M = 63.5 g mol-1

Result 2: 15.9 g of Y contains 12.7 g of M.
Mass of M = 12.7 g
Mass of O = 15.9 - 12.7 = 3.2 g
Mole ratio M : O = (12.7/63.5) : (3.2/16) = 1 : 1
Empirical formula of Y = MO
