put 8 in front of the oxygen in the reactants side to make it 16 molecules then put a 5 in front of the co2 in the product side to balance the carbon atoms then put a 6 in front of the H20 on the product side this balances both the hydrogen and oxygen atoms here is a representation

C5H12(g)+8O2(g)=5CO2(g)+6H20
