Q: 1 you asked is solved at the following website

2 moles of a single product is formed just divide the formula of compound by 2
For question :2
For greatest amount of energy to be released the compound should not have oxygen in it or least amount for maximum energy released.
From examination report:
Question 9 Candidates were given four compounds – CH3CH2CH3 and three of its oxidation products, CH3CH2CH2OH, CH3COCH3 and CH3CH2CO2H – and asked which would release the greatest amount of energy on complete combustion. 40% of candidates gave the correct answer (propane itself), the others presumably not appreciating that every stage in the oxidation process would be exothermic, and that therefore the earliest point in a sequence of oxidations would yield the highest energy release. An alternative approach to this question would have been to make use of the table of bond energies within the Data Booklet, leading to the same conclusion. Rather surprisingly four questions had a facility below the design limit of 25%, i.e. below the ‘guessing level’, and the reasons for this were clearly very varied.
