Imperical fomula is similar to molecular fomula.It is in simpleset form
Molecular formulas that are also empirical formulas include compounds like water (H2O), methane (CH4), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In these cases, the molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula because the compounds consist of only one type of atom.
CH will be the empirical formula and C12H12 will be the molecular 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.
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.
The empirical formula for catechol is C6H6O2.
Yes, the formula for methane (CH4) is both a molecular formula and an empirical formula. The molecular formula shows the actual number of each atom in a molecule (4 hydrogen atoms and 1 carbon atom), while the empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound (CH4).

Any molecular formula where the subscripts do not have a common factor that can divide them all. For example: CH4 (methane) is a molecular formula that is also an empirical formula because there is no number (other then one) that can divide both the 4 and the 1. Take ethane as another example. It hasn't the empirical formula which is similar to the molecular formula.
It is an empirical formula.
CH will be the empirical formula and C12H12 will be the molecular formula
A formula unit is an empirical formula.
It has a molecular formula of C10H8 so that would make an empirical formula of C5H4.
In this instance, the empirical formula is the same as the formula unit: NaNO3
It Has No Empirical Formula.
An empirical formula has no data about the structure of a compound.
The empirical formula for potassium manganate is KMnO4.
No. A molecular formula can be the same as the empirical formula, such as CH4 (methane), because the two component atoms exist in a ratio that cannot be mathematically further broken down - one carbon to four hydrogens. In this case the molecular formula (the actual number of atoms per molecule), and the empirical formula (the simplest ratio of those numbers) is identical. On the other hand, ethane, C2H6 - two carbons to 6 hydrogens - has a molecular formula of C2H6 and a empirical formula of CH3, the ratio of 2 to 6 reduced to its simplest whole number form. Sooooooooooo, the molecular formula will always be equal to or greater than the empirical formula, and the empirical formula will always be equal to or less than the molecular formula. In other words (as if that wasn't enough), the molecular formula will never be less than the empirical formula and the empirical formula will never be greater than the molecular formula, but THE TWO CAN BE EQUAL. Whew!!! Ray
