The empirical formula gives the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in the compound. Molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound.
empirical formula - CH₂O
Mass of one empirical unit = 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 a.m.u
We have to next calculate how many empirical units make up the molecular formula. For that we have to divide molecular mass by mass of one empirical unit.
Number of empirical units = 180 a.m.u / 30 = 6
There are 6 empirical units 
Therefore molecular formula = 6 x(CH₂O) = C₆H₁₂O₆
Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

What happens when chlorine from<br> CFCs mixes with ozone?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Because they are extremely stable molecules, CFCs do not react easily with other chemicals in the lower atmosphere. ... Free chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, taking one oxygen atom to form chlorine monoxide and leaving an ordinary oxygen molecule.
