That depends on what you mean by acid. As with all alcohols it has a dissociation constant associated with protonation of the hydrogen in the alcohol group. However, it is exceedingly small. It would not be called an acid in any sensible nomenclature or legal environment. However, alcohols can act as acids. Phenol, for example, another alcohol, stabilised by its pi-dissociated ring, is significantly acidic.

What is the chemical reaction with 2-butanol and acetic acid?
2-butanol (sec-butanol) and acetic acid (ethanoic acid) will undergo condensation reaction. The hydroxy group on the butanol reacts with the carboxyl group on the acetic acid to form an ester, releasing water. The product is sec-butyl-ethanoate.
What is the smell of acetic acid plus 1-butanol?
apple
Is acetic acid soluble in chloroform?
no

Is acetic acid soluble in hexane?
Yes, but only slightly soluble.
Distribution coefficient of acetic acid in butanol water system?
It is dependent on concentration and operational parameter such as temperature. Generally we can say that it increase with increasing the concentration of acetic acid.
Is calcium phosphate soluble in acetic acid?
Yes
