An empirical formula is a chemical formula containing only the number of atoms why is formed (ex.: C6H12), without any indication about the structure.
Both formulas are possible molecular formulas for the same empirical formula, CH2.
The information about the actual molar mass is superfluous. Given any molecular formula, the corresponding empirical may be obtained by dividing all the subscripts in the molecular by the largest integer that yield an integer quotient for each subscript. In the given formula, the empirical formula is CH2.
It is an empirical formula.
A formula unit is an empirical formula.
Empirical formula gives the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual numbers or the arrangement of atoms. The empirical formula for C6H12 is CH2.
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.

Empirical formula is the molecular formula in its simplest ratio. So the empirical formula of benzene is CH.

The chemical formula for cyclohexane is C6H12 - It is not an equation, as by definition an equation would need two things that equate to each other (For example 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O would be a chemical equation as each side is balanced). Cyclohexane is a hexagonal ring-shaped structure.
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.
