A liquid `(X)` having a molecular formula `C_(6) H_(12) O_(2)` is hydrolysed with water in the presence of an acid to give a carboxylic acid `(Y)` and an alcohol `(Z)`. Oxidation of `(Z)` with chrome acid gives `(Y)` . What are the structures of `(X), (Y)`, and `(Z)` ?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to identify the structures of the compounds \(X\), \(Y\), and \(Z\) based on the information provided.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Type of Compound \(X\)**:
- The molecular formula of \(X\) is \(C_6H_{12}O_2\).
- Given that hydrolysis of \(X\) in the presence of acid yields a carboxylic acid \(Y\) and an alcohol \(Z\), we can conclude that \(X\) is an ester. This is because esters hydrolyze to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
