The empirical formula of organic compounds is the lowest whole number ratio of atoms contained in the substance, as defined in chemistry. The empirical formula gives the minimal ratio of the number of various atoms that exist.

It's an empirical formula, if the formula is shortened, but not the exact number of atoms in the molecule, C4H6 is the chemical formula for butane. For every mole of carbon, there are two moles of hydrogen. The carbon-to-hydrogen ratio equals 2:3. C2H3 is the empirical formula for butane (C4H6).

Hence, the correct answer is C2H3.

What is the molecular formula of a compound that has a molecular mass of 54 and the empirical formula C2H3?

The empirical formula C2H3 has a molecular mass of 27 (C: 12, H: 1). To determine the molecular formula with a molecular mass of 54, the molecular formula would simply be double the empirical formula, so the molecular formula would be C4H6.

How does one determine a molecule formula from the empirical formula?

The density or some other information must be given that allow you to find the molar mass. Calculate the empirical formula mass. Divide molar mass by empirical formula mass. This answer is multiplied by all subscripts of the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.
