Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A substance in which bond forming between the combining atoms is due to the sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.
For example, bond present in a molecule is a covalent bond.
Some covalent bonds are non-polar in nature whereas water is a polar solvent. As it is known that like dissolves like.
Therefore, covalent molecules will not be soluble in water as water is a polar molecule.
Thus, we can conclude that if a substance is covalent, then it likely will not be soluble in water.

Answer:
2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.
Explanation:
Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g
1 kg = 1000 g
Molar mass of fat = M
M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]
Moles of fat =
According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give ;
of water
Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;
148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g
2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.
