Solution

The molecular formula of a compound gives us the number of atoms of each element present in one molecule of that compound.

In this case, we have two compounds: C8H12 and C8H14.

The difference between these two compounds is the number of hydrogen atoms. The first compound has 12 hydrogen atoms, while the second compound has 14 hydrogen atoms.

This means that the first compound has been hydrogenated to add two more hydrogen atoms.

In terms of structure, this means that a double bond (which consists of two shared pairs of electrons) has been converted into a single bond (which consists of one shared pair of electrons) by adding two hydrogen atoms.

In terms of ring structures, each ring in a compound is equivalent to a double bond.

Therefore, the number of rings in the first compound is equal to the number of double bonds that have been converted into single bonds, which is 1.

So, the value of x is 1.
