A certain compound was known to have a formula which could be represented as [PdCxHyN₂ ](ClO4)₂. Analysis showed that the compound contained 30.15% carbon, 5.06% hydrogen. When converted to the corresponding thiocyanate, [PdC,H,N₂ ](SCN)₂, the analysis was 40.46% carbon and 5.94% hydrogen. Calculate the value of x, y, and z.
