A dark brown binary compound contains oxygen and ametal. It is 13.38% oxygen by mass. Heating it moderatelydrives off some of the oxygen and gives a red binary compoundthat is 9.334% oxygen by mass. Strong heatingdrives off more oxygen and gives still another binary compound,which is only 7.168% oxygen by mass. (a) Compute the mass of oxygen that is combined with1.000 g of the metal in each of these three oxides. (b) Assume that the empirical formula of the first compoundis MO2 (where M representsthe metal). Givethe empirical formulas of the second and thirdcompounds. (c) Name the metal.
