Detailed Solution

The unbalanced chemical equation is C4​H10​(g)+O2​(g)→CO2​(g)+H2​O(l)

On LHS, we have 4C atoms. So on RHS we add coefficient of 4 to CO2 to balance C atoms.
 C4​H10​(g)+O2​(g)→4CO2​(g)+H2​O(l)

On LHS, we have 10H atoms. To balance H atoms, we add coefficient 5 to H2​O
 C4​H10​(g)+O2​(g)→4CO2​(g)+5H2​O(l)

On LHS, we have 2 O atoms. On RHS, we have 13 O atoms. To balance O atoms, we add 132 to O2 on LHS
 C4​H10​(g)+132​O2​(g)→4CO2​(g)+5H2​O(l)

This is balanced chemical equation. For  using the lowest whole-number terms, we multiply this equation with 2.
 2C4​H10​(g)+13O2​(g)→8CO2​(g)+10H2​O(l)
