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.
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.
In this instance, the empirical formula is the same as the formula unit: NaNO3
The empirical formula for potassium manganate is KMnO4.
The empirical formula for ribose is C5H10O5.
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.
The empirical formula for C9H20 is C3H7. This is because we divide the subscripts by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 3.

It is an empirical formula.
Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14. n-hexane is the unbranched isomer of hexane as there exists four more branched isomers of hexane
A formula unit is an empirical formula.
CH will be the empirical formula and C12H12 will be the molecular formula
It Has No Empirical Formula.
An empirical formula has no data about the structure of a compound.
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
The empirical formula for potassium manganate is KMnO4.
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.
