IntermediateMCQConceptual19.4k
A student analyzes two separate, pure liquid compounds, Substance \(X\) and Substance \(Y\). Elemental analysis shows that both substances consist of \(52.14\%\text{ C}\), \(13.13\%\text{ H}\), and \(34.73\%\text{ O}\) by mass. Furthermore, mass spectrometry confirms that both substances have an identical molar mass of \(46.07\text{ g/mol}\).

Which of the following statements correctly identifies whether these data are sufficient to determine the specific chemical structures of Substance \(X\) and Substance \(Y\), and provides the correct justification?
