Octanol is sparingly soluble in water because of its hydrophobic nature. The long hydrophobic carbon chain in octanol is not favorable for interaction with water molecules, preventing it from dissolving easily in water.
The molar heat of combustion of 1-octanol is approximately -6,268 kJ/mol. This value represents the amount of heat released when one mole of 1-octanol is completely burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
Octyl Acetate
Its an alcohol called Octanol because of its 8 (oct) carbon atoms.
It should dissolve it fairly well, yes. Despite the hydroxyl group, octanol is still a lipophilic molecule so you'll get much better dissolution in a non-polar organic solvent than a polar one.
"Octanol is not the most energy efficient fuel. Butanol is. Octanol gives out 8691.34J of energy per gram. Butanol gives out 15521.21J of energy per gram" Please state your source.

water is polar and immiscible with the non-polar octanol.

You can use Isoamyl alcohol instead of octanol. both of them are anti-foaming agents and facilitate separation of phases after centifugation.
Assuming there is water present, I would expect the product to be a (roughly equal) mixture of 2-octanol and 3-octanol.
HCl and SO2

1-octanol is an alcohol, so it has an OH group attached to the first C atom. (C8H17OH) 1-octene is an alkene, which has a double bond between the first and second C atoms. (C8H16)
Octanol is used to determine the partition coefficient because it mimics the hydrophobic environment of biological membranes. The partition coefficient measures the tendency of a compound to partition between a hydrophilic (water) and a hydrophobic (octanol) phase, which is relevant for understanding a compound's ability to pass through cell membranes. Octanol is a common standard solvent used to represent the hydrophobic environment encountered by molecules in biological systems.
