The alkene with the molecular formula of C6H12 is hex-2-ene i.e, CH3CH2CH2CH=CHCH3.
As per the question, Butanal, also known as butyraldehyde (C4H8O) and ethanal also known as Acetaldehyde (C2H4O) were yielded upon ozonolysis.
The reductive workup of the alkene upon ozonolysis gives a ketone and aldehyde when the C=C bond is cleaved and replaced with oxygen.
So, by the below figure, it can be known that the alkene is Hex-2-ene.
