Question 79

A bio-plastic precursor, Compound ZZZ, is synthesized as a platform chemical from biomass. Compound ZZZ contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 2.64 g2.64\text{ g}2.64 g sample of ZZZ is subjected to complete combustion in excess oxygen, yielding 5.28 g5.28\text{ g}5.28 g of carbon dioxide and 2.16 g2.16\text{ g}2.16 g of water.

In a separate mass spectrometry experiment, the relative molecular mass of ZZZ is determined to be 132.0 g mol−1132.0\text{ g mol}^{-1}132.0 g mol−1.

Calculate the molecular formula of ZZZ and suggest one possible structural formula for this compound.
