Look at at table for the enthalpy values of water, CO2, O2 and C5H10. Then use the formula
(10*delta H of H2O + 10*delta H of CO2) - (2*delta H of C5H10 + 15*delta H of O2).

figure out the delta Hf for pentene, CO2 and water and then multiply by the coefficients and subtract reactants from products.
