problem

A `500cm3 500cm^{3} `mixture of an acyclic saturated diol and excess oxygen (\\(O_2\\)) is ignited so that complete combustion occurs isobarically and isothermally at 300°C. After the reaction goes to completion, the total volume of the gaseous mixture is `500cm3 500cm^{3}`. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, `440cm3 440cm^{3} ` of the gaseous mixture remains. After passing the remaining gaseous mixture through calcium hydroxide (`Ca(OH)2 Ca(OH)_2 `) solution, the volume of the gaseous mixture decreased by `50cm3 50cm^{3} `. What is the empirical formula of the saturated diol? Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
