No. The empirical formula of a substance is the formula in which each atomic symbol has the lowest possible subscript that gives the correct ratio between atoms for the compound as a whole. For C6H12, the empirical formula is CH2, but for C6H14, the empirical formula is C3H7.
No. Ordinary n-hexane is C6H14 and is unsaturated. Cyclohexane is C6H12 as it has 1 unit of unsaturation due to its cyclic structure.
Cyclopentane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon which contains only single bonds between carbon atoms whereas pentene is a chain hydrocarbon with double or triple bonds along with single bonds. Cyclopentane has a total of 15 bonds within the atom whereas pentene has a total of 16 bonds.
Both alkenes and cycloalkanes are composed of carbon and hydrogen only, and they both have the same ratio of carbon-to-hydrogen atoms (assuming the alkene has only 1 double bond). A cycloalkane is "missing" 2 hydrogen atoms in its formula compared to the equivalent alkane (hexane is C6H14, but cyclohexane is C6H12). Similarly, hexene has two less H's than hexane, and thus has the same formula as cyclohexane, C6H12). Despite having the same formula, cyclohexane and hexene are very different molecules!

Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14. n-hexane is the unbranched isomer of hexane as there exists four more branched isomers of hexane

Both formulas are possible molecular formulas for the same empirical formula, CH2.

Yes. This is very common among organic compounds. For example, cyclohexane and hexenes -1, -2, and -3 all have the same molecular formula, C6H12.
C6H12 may be an alkene or cycloalkane because both have the same general formula CnH2n .
Well let me see... isomers are compounds which share the same moecular formula (ieC6H14) but have different structures. So isomers of hexane (c6h14) include: Hexane 2-Methylpentane 3-Methylpentane 2,3-Dimethylbutane 2,2-Dimethylbutane Hope this helps
The molecular formula of hexane is C6H14. The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula after division of all subscripts in the molecular formula by the highest integer that produce an integer quotient from each subscript in the molecular formula. Therefore, the empirical formula of hexane is C3H7.

You just have to have the same number of each atom on each side of the equation so we put large numbers in front of each section of the formula for C6H14 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O we can see that on the left hand side of the formula there are 6 c's 14 h's and 2 o's whereas on the right there is 1 c, 3 o's and 2 h's and as we need equal numbers on both sides we add numbers INFRONT of the sections like this; 2C6H14 + 13O2 -> 12CO2 + 14H20
Then what? Gasoline? Then the answer is no. Gasoline is C6H12. Diesel is C12H26. Same molecular construction. Just different number of atoms.
