A compound frequently used as a high-temperature lubricant has the formula MS2, where M represents some metallic element. If this compound is 40.06% sulfur by mass, what is the identity of the metal M?

I'm confused on how to figure this out.

Calculate the pH of each solution given the following or values:
a. [H3O+] = 1 * 10-8M
b. [H3O+] = 5 * 10-6M
c. [OH-] = 4 * 10-2M
d. [OH-] = 8 * 10-3M
e. [H3O+] = 4.7 * 10-2M
f. [OH-] = 3.9 * 10-6M
