This is the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon, pentane (C5H12), in the presence of oxygen gas (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat and light, making combustion reactions useful in engines and as a source of energy for heating and electricity generation.
