Butanol, CH2OHC3H7, smells like glassex, 'glass-shine window cleaner' alcohol.
It looks like a colorless clear fluid which it is.
Butanol typically has a strong, alcoholic odor similar to other types of alcohols. It is a colorless liquid with a slightly viscous texture.
The combination of acetic acid and 1-butanol may produce a fruity or sweet odor. The acetic acid contributes a vinegar-like smell, while the 1-butanol adds a mild fruity or berry-like scent. The overall smell can vary depending on the concentration of each compound.
The reaction of 1-butanol with acetic anhydride typically produces an ester, such as butyl acetate. Butyl acetate has a fruity smell, resembling apples or bananas.
Iron fillings are black and doesn't smell.
One isomer of C4H9OH is butanol. There are four isomers of butanol: n-butanol, sec-butanol, isobutanol, and tert-butanol.
In spite of the same OH group as in bases, butanol is not a hydroxide (base, alkaline) it is an alcohol (alkanol) in the organic group of compounds: they do not ionise or hydrolyse in water, no OH- ions are split off.There are 3 formula isomers of butanol: CH2OH-CH2-CH2-CH3 (1-butanol) and CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3 (2R-butanol) and CH3-C(OH)H-CH2-CH3 (2S-butanol), the '2R' and '2S' butanol formula's are mirror isomers.

Isobutanol is an organic compound that has a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell. It is a structural isomer of 2-butanol.
Iron fillings are black and doesn't smell.
One isomer of C4H9OH is butanol. There are four isomers of butanol: n-butanol, sec-butanol, isobutanol, and tert-butanol.

The solubility of 1-butanol in water is 90g Butanol / L Water. Butanol, being an alcohol, is slightly polar.
Smell and sight are completely separate senses, unless you have synesthesia.

Propanol has a lower molecular weight than butanol, making it lighter and more volatile. This results in propanol evaporating more quickly and having better solubility in water. Additionally, propanol is often less expensive and more readily available compared to butanol.
It will smell and may have mold on it. The mold can be yellowish in color.
