There is an error in the question - do you mean CH3CH2CH2OH - 1-propanol
"Alcohols, ethers and epoxides having less than or 5 carbon atoms are water soluble because they each have an oxygen atom capable of hydrogen bonding." "Alcohols, ethers and epoxides having more than 5 carbon atoms are insoluble because the non-polar alkyl portion is too large to dissolve in water" Source: Organic chemistry (second edition) by Janice Gorzynski Smith
Not so much. As alcohols get bigger they tend to be less and less soluble in water. Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are pretty much fully miscible in water at room temperature. By the time you get to 1-butanol, the difficulty in jamming the non-polar end of the molecule between water molecules that want to interact with each other starts to make the molecule only partially soluble (somewhere around 7-8 grams per 100 mL of water). 1-pentanol is even worse, with a solubility coming in around 2-3 grams per 100 mL.
Ethanol is an alcohol with two carbon atoms (C2H5OH) and butanol is an alcohol with four carbon atoms (C4H9OH)
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.

No chemical reaction.
The chemical formula of 2-methyl-2-butanol is C15H12O.
Pentanol is an alcohol attached to a five carbon atom chain. Its basic molecular formula is C5H12O. The exact structure will depend on where in the carbon chain the alcohol is attached, as you can have 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, or 3-pentanol.

It is an alcohol 1-butanol or n-butyl alcohol, it is an organic liquid.

The two letters 'ol' collectively at the end of name of alkane represent the alcoholic group as, Butanol, Pentanol, Octanol. If you're referring to the functional group itself specifically, "hydroxyl" is sometimes used.
Examples: ethanol, acetone, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, butanol, iso-propyl alcohol.

The solubility of 1-butanol in water is 90g Butanol / L Water. Butanol, being an alcohol, is slightly polar.
