If you think to magnetite and to a chemical formula (not equation) this formula is Fe3O4.
The chemical formula of water (H2O) was discovered by Amedeo Avogadro in 1811.But:- it is a chemical formula, not an equation- the chemical formula is not invented, it is established
Chemical formula is representative for the chemical compositon of a compound. Chemical equation is representative (describe) for a chemical reaction.
Sodium chloride is a compound; a compound has a chemical formula (or a formula unit) not a chemical equation. The formula unit of sodium chloride is NaCl.
CH3 is not a chemical equation, it is a chemical formula. CH3 is a methyl but, it can not be on its own.
The chemical formula (not equation) is CuSO4.5H2O.
