016 g/mol ((2 x 1.008) + 16.00)...From what I can see your method/reasonig is fine,......
Combustion of 5.70g of this compound produced 11.4g of CO2 and 4.66g of H2O.

What is the empirical formula of the unknown compound? C(x)H(y)O(z)

-
the molar mass of H2O is 18.016 g/mol ((2 x 1.008) + 16.00)... you have used 8

From what I can see your method/reasonig is fine, so put in the correct molar mass of H2O all should be good.

Mass of C in 11.4g CO2 is (12/44)*11.4g= 3.109g C
Mass of H in 4.66g H2O is (2/18)*4.66g= 0.51778g H
Mass of O = 5.70g - (3.109 - 0.51778 ) which is 2.073 g O

Dividing each mass by the atomic number:
C=3.109/12 = .2591
H=0.51778/1 = 0.51778
O = 2.073/16 = 0.1296

Divide them all by 0.1296
since O is the smallest number

C= 0.2591/ 0.1296 = 2
H=0.51778/.1296 = 4
O= 0.1296/ 0.1296 = 1

C2H4O
