It does not necessarily mean that. For example glucose (C6H12O6) and formaldehyde (CH2O) have the same percentages of elements by mass, but are two very difference compounds.

Is it possible for different covalent compounds to have the same empirical formula?

Yes, it is possible for different covalent compounds to have the same empirical formula. This occurs when compounds have different arrangements of atoms but the same ratio of elements. An example is ethyne (C2H2) and benzene (C6H6), both of which have an empirical formula of CH.


Is a C6H6 organic or inorganic?

C6H6 is an organic compound. Organic compounds are generally carbon-based and contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, such as in benzene (C6H6). Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.


Why is it important to reduce coefficient in a balanced equation to the lowest possible whole number?

It is not always important. In chemistry, for example, you would never reduce C2H2 (acytelene) and C6H6 (benzene) to CH.


What two compounds have the same empirical formula?

CH4 has the same molecular and empirical formulas.


What is an example of percent mass?

you have 40.0 ml of C6H5CH3.....that is put into 75.0 ml of C6H6,what is the percent volume of C6H5CH3?


What is a formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound?

It is an over-simplified chemical formula which is just plain wrong. For example, acetylene is C2H2 and benzene is C6H6. Nobody would write these as CH.


Which of the following compounds does not contain nitrogen?

There are many compounds that don't contain nitrogen: CO2, NaCl, H2O, C6H6, CuCl2...


What is the chemical formula for benzen?

Formula: C6H6


What type of formula where the atoms are in the smallest whole number ratio?

It is a poor chemical formula. Poor, because it would not distinguish between acetylene C2H2 and benzene C6H6 for example. It is useful only to the extent that it shows the proportions of the atoms in molecule of the compound.


C6H6 C2H5OH CH3CH2CH2OH CH3-O-CH3 Which compound has more repulsion with water and why?

C6H6 will be repelled the most. C2H5OH and CH3CH2CH2OH are both alcohols, both are polar molecules and will easily dissolve in water.CH3OCH3 is dimethyl ether and will repel water, though it is slightly polar.C6H6 or benzene will be repelled by water the most, as benzene is non polar and water is polar.


Has the molecular formula C6H6?

Benzene has the molecular formula C6H6.


What is chemical symbol for benzene?
