10.0 cm3 of a gaseous hydrocarbon X were exploded with 100.0 cm^3 of oxygen (an excess). After cooling, the total volume of the gaseous mixture was 80.0 cm^3 . After treatment with KOH (aq), the volume of gas decreased to 40.0 cm^3 . All volumes were measured at the same temperature and pressure. Use this information to determine the molecular formula of X. Draw two possible structures for X.
