12 moles of water H₂O are produced from the combustion of pentane.

Explanation:

We have the following combustion of pentane (C₅H₁₂):

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Knowing the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if 1 moles of pentane C₅H₁₂ produces 6 moles of water H₂O

then 2 moles of pentane C₅H₁₂ produces X moles of water H₂O

X = (2 × 6) / 1 = 12 moles of water H₂O
