This reaction is the combustion of pentane and it releases a lot of energy, pentane plus oxygen gas producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor.
Explanation: Combustion reactions release a lot of energy, resulting in water vapor as a product, and these reactions also qualify as redox reactions due to the transfer of electrons, typically involving oxygen changing from elemental to compound form.
