Can plz explain how to do it

Thank You

balance the equation;
C5H12+ 8O2 >>> 5CO2 + 6H2O
so you get 5x the number of moles you used of Pentane.
I do not see your reaction.

I will assume:
1 C5H12 + 8O2 --> 5CO2 + 6H2O
so
6 molecules or mols of C5H12
gives
6*5 = 30 molecules or mols of CO2
How do you get 6 molecules or mols of C5H12
I mean how did you get the number 5

The whole numbers on teach compound tells you the mole ratios..
