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.
No, the molecular formula for cyclohexane is C6H12, while the molecular formula for n-hexane is C6H14. Cyclohexane is a cyclic hydrocarbon with a ring structure, while n-hexane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon.
Cyclopentane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon which contains only single bonds between carbon atoms whereas pentene is a chain hydrocarbon with double or triple bonds along with single bonds. Cyclopentane has a total of 15 bonds within the atom whereas pentene has a total of 16 bonds.
Both alkenes and cycloalkanes are composed of carbon and hydrogen only, and they both have the same ratio of carbon-to-hydrogen atoms (assuming the alkene has only 1 double bond). A cycloalkane is "missing" 2 hydrogen atoms in its formula compared to the equivalent alkane (hexane is C6H14, but cyclohexane is C6H12). Similarly, hexene has two less H's than hexane, and thus has the same formula as cyclohexane, C6H12). Despite having the same formula, cyclohexane and hexene are very different molecules!
No, heptane and hexane are not the same. Heptane has seven carbon atoms in its molecular structure, while hexane has six carbon atoms. Both are hydrocarbons, but they have different chemical compositions and properties.
Yes, covalent compounds can have the same empirical formula if they have different structural formulas. This means they have the same ratio of elements but differ in how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.
No, the molecular formula for cyclohexane is C6H12, while the molecular formula for n-hexane is C6H14. Cyclohexane is a cyclic hydrocarbon with a ring structure, while n-hexane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon.
Both formulas are possible molecular formulas for the same empirical formula, CH2.
Cyclopentane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon which contains only single bonds between carbon atoms whereas pentene is a chain hydrocarbon with double or triple bonds along with single bonds. Cyclopentane has a total of 15 bonds within the atom whereas pentene has a total of 16 bonds.
Yes. This is very common among organic compounds. For example, cyclohexane and hexenes -1, -2, and -3 all have the same molecular formula, C6H12.
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
Hexane is linear and contains all single bonds. Cyclohexane is in a ring and contains carbons linked in a circle, therefore, each carbon already has two bonds, there is no terminal carbon that requires 3 hydrogen.
Both alkenes and cycloalkanes are composed of carbon and hydrogen only, and they both have the same ratio of carbon-to-hydrogen atoms (assuming the alkene has only 1 double bond). A cycloalkane is "missing" 2 hydrogen atoms in its formula compared to the equivalent alkane (hexane is C6H14, but cyclohexane is C6H12). Similarly, hexene has two less H's than hexane, and thus has the same formula as cyclohexane, C6H12). Despite having the same formula, cyclohexane and hexene are very different molecules!

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.
A molecule with 6 carbons and 12 hydrogens is likely an alkene. Alkenes have a general formula of CnH2n and contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Alkanes have a general formula of CnH2n+2 and alkyne have a general formula of CnH2n-2.
You just have to have the same number of each atom on each side of the equation so we put large numbers in front of each section of the formula for C6H14 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O we can see that on the left hand side of the formula there are 6 c's 14 h's and 2 o's whereas on the right there is 1 c, 3 o's and 2 h's and as we need equal numbers on both sides we add numbers INFRONT of the sections like this; 2C6H14 + 13O2 -> 12CO2 + 14H20
Then what? Gasoline? Then the answer is no. Gasoline is C6H12. Diesel is C12H26. Same molecular construction. Just different number of atoms.
