What type of reaction is $2 C_{4} H_{20} (g) + 13 O_{2} (g) \to 8 C O_{2} (g) + 10 H_{2} O (g)$ $2C_4H_20(g) + 13O_2(g) -> 8CO_2(g) + 10H_2O(g)$ ?

Chimaerical? There is no hydrocarbon with a $C_{4} H_{20}$ $C_4H_20$ formula.

The saturated 4 carbon hydocarbon is butane, $C_{4} H_{10}$ $C_4H_10$ . I think you are quite capable of representing its combustion.

What type of reaction is 2C4H20(g)+13O2(g)→8CO2(g)+10H2O(g)2C_4H_20(g) + 13O_2(g) -> 8CO_2(g) + 10H_2O(g)?
