C2H5COOH: The formula begins with 'C2H5-'. Two carbon atom makes the prefix 'eth' is appropriate. The functional group is '-COOH' meaning this is a carboxylic acid. Hence, the appropriate name would be Ethanoic Acid, otherwise known as Acetic Acid.
CH3CHO: This formula is NOT as condensed as the first so we count the total number of carbon atoms; two carbon atoms means the prefix 'eth' is appropriate. The second carbon is connected to the first carbon, a hydrogen AND the oxygen atom. Therefore, the second carbon atom forms a double bond with the oxygen atom. That means the '-CHO' functional group represents an aldehyde. Hence, the appropriate name would be Ethanal. It could also be named Ethyl Aldehyde or, as seen with the last compound, Acetaldehyde.
no the first has 2 carbons, and would contain eth in its name
the second has 3 carbons and would contan pro in its name
the oh gives it a ol ending.
not sure exactally on the rest but they are not the same compound
These formulae cannot represent substances having the same empirical formulae because the numbers of atoms of each element in the two formulae are different.
Yes. Both are acetate.
yes
In this instance, the empirical formula is the same as the formula unit: NaNO3
An empirical formula refers to the chemical formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Two different compounds may have the same empirical formula.
Yes, they have. Empirical Formula is the simplest formula of a compound. For both C7H14 and C10H20 the Empirical formula is CH2 .
C6H10OS2. Molecular and empirical are the same for Allicin.
Silver oxide is an ionic compound so its molecular and empirical formula is same Ag2O
In this case, the empirical formula and the molecular formula are the same and it is K3PO4.

Yes, they have. Empirical Formula is the simplest formula of a compound. For both C7H14 and C10H20 the Empirical formula is CH2 .
Yes, it is possible for an empirical formula to be the same as the molecular formula. For example, Lactic acid's molecular formula is C3H6O3, which would make its empirical formula CH2O.
The empirical formula is similar.
C6H10OS2. Molecular and empirical are the same for Allicin.
A molecular formula is identical to the empirical formula, and is based on quantity of atoms of each type in the compound.The relationship between empirical and molecular formula is that the empirical formula is the simplest formula, and the molecular can be the same as the empirical, or some multiple of it. An example might be an empirical formula of C3H8. Its molecular formula may be C3H8 , C6H16, C9H24, etc. Looking at it the other way, if the molecular formula is C6H12O6, the empirical formula would be CH2O.

Empirical formula is a useless notion; important is the molecular formula.
The empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide is the same as its molecular formula - NO2. See related question below for more details on how to find empirical formulas.
Silver oxide is an ionic compound so its molecular and empirical formula is same Ag2O
