Answer: The value is 0.664
Explanation:
Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm
Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm
The retention factor or the value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.
Thus the value is 0.664

See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.
Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.
When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.
However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.
