An element forms two oxides, the per cent composition in them A:O = x:y in the first oxide and y: x in the second oxide. If the equivalent weight of A in the first oxide is 10.33, what is the equivalent weight of A in the second oxide?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information given about the two oxides formed by element A and use the equivalent weight of A in the first oxide to find the equivalent weight of A in the second oxide.

### Step 1: Understand the Composition of the Oxides
We know that:
- In the first oxide, the ratio of A to O is given as \( A:O = x:y \).
- In the second oxide, the ratio of A to O is given as \( A:O = y:x \).

### Step 2: Write the Equivalent Weight Equation for the First Oxide
