When we have:
Zn(OH)2 → Zn2+ 2OH- with Ksp = 3 x 10 ^-16
and:
Zn2+ + 4OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with Kf = 2 x 10^15
by mixing those equations together:
Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with K = Kf *Ksp = 3 x 10^-16 * 2x10^15 =0.6
by using ICE table:
Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2-
initial 2m 0
change -2X +X
Equ 2-2X X
when we assume that the solubility is X
and when K = [Zn(OH)4 2-] / [OH-]^2
0.6 = X / (2-2X)^2 by solving this equation for X
∴ X = 0.53 m
∴ the solubility of Zn(OH)2 = 0.53 M
Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.

Answer: Option D) covalent bonds between water molecules
In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as covalent bonds between water molecules
Explanation:
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are covalent bonds because they are formed when oxygen attract the lone electron in hydrogen, thus resulting in the formation of a partially negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partially positive charge on two hydrogen atoms
Thus, the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms is responsible for the covalent bonds between water molecules
When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom, the carbon atom becomes reduced.
