Answer is: four carbon dioxide molecules and four water molecules.

Balanced chemical reaction: C₄H₈ + 6O₂ → 4CO₂ + 4H₂O.

There are four carbon dioxide molecules (CO₂) on the right side of chemical reaction, because there are four carbon atoms on the left side of balanced chemical reaction.

There are four water molecules (H₂O) on the right side of chemical reaction, because there are eight hydrogen atoms on the left side of balanced chemical reaction.
