Compound X has the formula C8H12. X reacts with two molar equivalents of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form cyclooctane. Treatment of X with ozone followed by zinc in aqueous acid gives two molar equivalents of the same dialdehyde. What is the structure of X

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

If we look at the question closely, we will discover that two molar equivalents of hydrogen gas was used to obtain cyclooctane rom X. This implies that the compound X is an alkyne and it must be cyclooctyne since the hydrogen serves to reduce the triple bond and yield the corresponding alkane.

This is confirmed by the second statement which is ozonolysis of the X with zinc in aqueous acid which gave two molar equivalents of the same dialdehyde.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.

explanation:

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
