Why 1-propanol is more hydrophobic or having lower polarity than 2-propanol?

The hydrophobicity of a molecule increases with longer contiguous chains of hydrocarbons. The -OH in 1-propanol is on the first of the three carbons, leaving the second and third carbons to form a larger hydrophobic molecular surface. In 2-propanol the OH on the central (second) carbon breaks up the overall surface hydrophobicity. The reason for this is that the O is an electron drawing group. As such, O will have an effect on the bonds between the C it's connected to as well as each bond made by that C. Also, the closer O is to another atom in the molecule, the stronger the effect. In 1-propanol, O is further from the third carbon, thus having a lesser effect on the dipole moment of that carbon. In 2-propanol, the O effects the dipole moments of the first and third carbons equally.

What is the pH of propanol?

There are different types of propanol. And the pH values of propanol can fall anywhere within a very large range. It would probably be best to test your own sample of propanol and see what the result is.
