Some ionic compounds contain a mixture of different charged cations. For example, some titanium oxides contain a mixture of Ti2 and Ti3 ions. Consider a certain oxide of titanium that is 28.31% oxygen by mass and contains a mixture of Ti2 and Ti3 ions. Determine the formula of the compound and the relative numbers of Ti2 and Ti3 ions.
