#Ga#

Explanation:

The molecule of this compound is #E_2O_3# so
2n(#E#):3n(#O#)
n(#E#):1.5n(#O#)
In 100 grams of this compound are #25.53# grams #O# and #100-25.53=74.47# grams #E#.
#n(O)=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{25.53}{16}=1.595625#mol
#n(E)=\frac{1.595625}{1.5}=1.06375#mol
#n(E)=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{74.47}{x}=1.06375#
#x=70#
#70# weighs #Ga#
