A piece of electronic equipment originally contained 1.250 g of a valuable metal. Corrosion over time has given a compound of formula $\ce{M(OH)3}$, which is isolated but not weighed. This compound is treated with sulfuric acid to give a compound that has beautiful red crystals and is found to have a molecular formula of $\ce{M2(SO4)2}$ and a mass of 1.860 g. What is this valuable metal?
