Answer:

ethanol, 2-pentanol and 1-butanol

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohols are those organic compounds that have high solubility in water, that is to say that when they are mixed with water they could form a monophasic solution.

Alcohols consist of a functional group that is called the alcohol group, which is what makes them characteristic and gives them some properties such as: high solubility in water, flammable, noticeable odors but not greater than the group of ketones, generally they are products of the alcoholic fermentation of carbohydrates are very volatile.
