Answer:What is the actual Molar mass of M?

Explanation:

The mass of the M is measured before, and after heating. Therefore, its easy to calculate the oxygen required to heat the M. Applying that to the reaction M+O₂⇒MO, will get you all the information about the Oxygen, and therefore you can calculate the Molar mass of M.
