Answer:

x is CO2

An organic compound that contains carbon and hydrogen is called a hydrocarbon.

When a hydrocarbon is burnt in air (combustion) only two products are obtained; carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide comes from the carbon component of the molecule while the water comes from the hydrogen component of the molecule.
