A carbon compound 'P' on heating with excess conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` forms another carbon compound 'Q' which on addition of hydrogen in the presence of nickel catalyst forms a saturated carbon compound 'R'. One molecule of 'R' on combustion, forms two molecules of carbon dioxide and three molecules of water. Identify P, Q and R and write chemical equations for the reactions involved.

To solve the problem step-by-step, we need to identify the carbon compounds P, Q, and R, and write the chemical equations for the reactions involved. ### Step 1: Identify Compound R We know that one molecule of compound R on combustion produces two molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and three molecules of water (H₂O). From the combustion reaction: \[ \text{C}_x\text{H}_y + O_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] ...
