C6H12O6 Molecular Weight: 180
This is also known now as Glucose (Sugar).
^^ this isn't completely correct... yes dextrose is a sugar but its not the same as glucose at all... (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and dextrose are all sugars but they have different chemical make-ups)
i don't know the exact answer but i don't want you to be misled

∙ 13y ago== == For some reason, my calculations came up with the empirical formula for sucrose being COH2.
Wiki says the molecular formula is something much larger as expected.
Basically, all sugars have the ratio of C:H:O of 1:2:1, and as a result, all have the same empirical formula . That being said, any sugar can be a multiple of that ratio (except having non-integer numbers of atoms - .5 atoms) so sucrose (C11H22O11)/11 = that magic ratio of 1:2:1.

∙ 9y agoThe empirical formula for dextrose is C6H12O6. Dextrose is a type of glucose or sugar that is found in many food products.

∙ 13y agoGlucose molecule is C6H12O6, divide the number of atoms by 6 (smallest value) so empirical formula is C1H2O1.

∙ 13y agoGlucose is C6H12O6 so the empirical formula is CH2O

What is the empirical formula for Hg2F2?
Molecular formula is Hg2F2 . The empirical formula is HgF . For empirical formulas you reduce the numbers as far as possible.
How do you calculate Molecular formula from empirical formulaWhat could you do with that information to determine that the empirical and molecular formulas are related to one another by a factor of 6?
In order to find molecular formula from empirical formula, one needs to know the molar mass of the molecular formula. Then you simply divide the molar mass of the molecular formula by the molar mass of the empirical formula to find out how many empirical formulae are in the molecular formula. Then you multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by that number.
The molecular formula for sucrose is C11H22O11. How would the empirical formula of sucrose be obtained from this information?
The empirical formula is the smallest unit which shows the different atoms in their correct ratios. You find it by taking out any common factor from the numbers. In this case all three numbers divide by 11, so the empirical formula is CH2O. In practice, we usually determine the empirical formula from experiment (hence the name), then use it with other information to derive the molecular formula.
Is S8 Empirical or Molecular?
Molecular. The empirical formula would simply be S.
What is the empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide?
The empirical formula for nitrogen dioxide is the same as its molecular formula - NO2. See related question below for more details on how to find empirical formulas.
How are the empirical and molecular formulas for a compuond related?
An empirical formula is a brutto formula; a molecular formula explain the structure of a molecule.
How is molecular formula C3H6 and molecular formula C6H12 related?
Both formulas are possible molecular formulas for the same empirical formula, CH2.
What is the empirical formula for Hg2F2?
Molecular formula is Hg2F2 . The empirical formula is HgF . For empirical formulas you reduce the numbers as far as possible.
How are the Empirical and molecular formulas for compounds related?
A molecular formula is identical to the empirical formula, and is based on quantity of atoms of each type in the compound.The relationship between empirical and molecular formula is that the empirical formula is the simplest formula, and the molecular can be the same as the empirical, or some multiple of it. An example might be an empirical formula of C3H8. Its molecular formula may be C3H8 , C6H16, C9H24, etc. Looking at it the other way, if the molecular formula is C6H12O6, the empirical formula would be CH2O.

Why do you use both empirical and molecular formula?
Molecular formulas are used the most often, but empirical formulas do help at times. Often it's just to simplify the molecular formula, but this simplification can often tell you if it's in the same chemical family as other compounds and such.
