Four different substituents are required on a carbon atom for it to be chiral.

<h3>What is Chiral Carbons ?</h3>

The carbon atom which is attached with four different types of group of atoms or atoms is called Chiral carbon. Chiral molecules are non superimposable on their mirror images. Chiral carbon is also called asymmetric carbon.

Example:

Br - \underset{H} {\underset{|} {\overset{CH_3}  {\overset{|}{C}}}} - Cl

In the above example we can see that carbon atom has 4 different group attached with it that is Br, Cl, H, CH₃.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Four different substituents are required on a carbon atom for it to be chiral.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and velocity ?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

Doss [256]

The formula or chemical formula of a compound is same irrespective of source / mode of synthesis . Thus if a sample of compound has one carbon atom for every two atoms of oxygen (CO2), the formula will remains the same

So the answer is that for all other samples the compound X should hold this ration true.
