Given-----
Me = .0125 moles
O = .2 grams

Oxygen is 16 grams/mole
so
0.2(g) / 16(g/mol) = .0125 moles of Oxygen right?

moles of Me = moles of Oxygen
I think you catch my drift

Me - Metal atom if you were wondering

1)As scarf said, MeO.
2)Well, it could be
MnC2O4 when Mn2+
Mn2(C2O4)3 when Mn3+
Mn(C2O4)2 when Mn4+
