Answer:

The ratio of the metal to oxygen is 2:1

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of unknown metals = 0.48moles

Number of moles of oxygen = 0.24moles

To find the mole ratio:

We divide the given moles by the smallest values. This gives the simplest form of the two elements:

    Elements                          Unkown metal                Oxygen

Number of moles                      0.48                              0.24

simplest form                          0.48/0.24                   0.24/0.24

                                                       2                                    1

The ratio of the metal to oxygen is 2:1
