Couldn't have said it any better, yes it's quite straight forward, don't get confused when they use the word position isomer instead of Positional, my teacher says it throws students off to overthink.
here is the full question and mark scheme i am confused i thought it would be but 2 ene because the double bond is on the second carbon
yes but its already given you but-2-ene, and THAT is compound X now it's asking you to work out POSITIONAL isomer of compound X (But-2-ene) which can only be But-1-ene because its a 4 carbon molecule!

Balance the following equation that shows how butane is used to make the compound called maleic anhydride. ..........CH3CH2CH2CH3 + .......... O2 ..........C2H2(CO)2O + .......... H2O how would you start balancing

Balance the carbons first, and then the hydrogens and oxygens at the end
4 Carbon = Reactants 4 Carbon products 10 Hydrogens Reactants 10 Hydrogen Products 7 O2 Reactants ( 3.5x2) Reactants 7 O2 products ( 4O + 3O) Products Always check to see if the carbons are balanced then start from there if carbons balanced then look at O2 etc
