The formula given is already the empirical formula, because its two subscripts, 5 and 14, do not have any common whole number factors except 1. - - - - - {Another contributor wrote: "That's true, but hexane is C6H14 - and there are still no common whole number factors." This comment is wrong, because 2 is a common factor of 6 and 14.} ------- The _chemical formula_ for hexane is C6H14. (This formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of any of the _isomers_ of hexane.) The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in one molecule of hexane is 1:2. Therefore, the _empirical formula_ for hexane is CH2. Please see the links.
Yes. It is called hexane because of the six carbon atoms per molecule.
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.

C6h14
c6h14
Because alkanes follow the formula CnH2n+2 as 6*2+2=14, we can conclude c6h14 is an alkane
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
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.
C6h14
The molecular formula of all the hexanes is C6H14. (Remember the numbers should be subscripts.) However there are isomers: CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, (CH 3 ) 2 CH(CH 2 ) 2 CH 3 CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3 )CH 2 CH 3 CH 3 CH(CH 3 )CH(CH 3 )CH 3 CH 3 C(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 CH 3 Wikipedia shows them clearly.

A saturated hydrocarbon (alkane). This can mean hexane, methyl pentane, ethyl butane, dimethyl butane etc.
