A certain metal hydroxide, , contains 32.8 oxygen by mass. What is the identity of the metal ?

Let X be the molar mass of M(OH)2 32/X = 0.328 X = 97.6 g/mol Molar mass of metal M = 97.6 - 32 - 2 = 63.56 g/mol According to the periodic table, copper has the molar mass of 64g/mol. So, M is copper.

Why do you divide by 32 in the numerator instead of 32.8? if it is 32.8g of O/ 100 g Substance
