To determine the structure of hydrocarbon 'X', we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Information Given We know that hydrocarbon 'X' can take up two molecules of hydrogen and is converted into a saturated hydrocarbon. This suggests that 'X' has at least one double bond or a triple bond, as these types of bonds can be hydrogenated to form a saturated compound. ### Step 2: Identify the Products of Ozonolysis The ozonolysis of hydrocarbon 'X' yields three carbonyl compounds: acetaldehyde (C2H4O), acetone (C3H6O), and propan-1,3-dial (C3H6O2). The presence of these products indicates that 'X' likely contains multiple double bonds or a specific arrangement of carbon atoms that can yield these compounds upon cleavage. ...
