Methanol is not an example of a fossil fuel.
The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.

Explanation:
Let us consider the first two reactions, the initial concentration of CO was held constant and the concentration of Hbn was doubled.
2.68 * 10^-3/1.34 * 10^-3 = 6.24 * 10^-4/3.12 * 10^-4
2^1 = 2^1
The rate of reaction is first order with respect to Hbn
Let us consider the third and fourth reactions. The concentration of Hbn is held constant and that of CO was tripled.
1.5 * 10^-3/5 * 10^-4 = 1.872 * 10^-3/6.24 * 10^-4
3^1 = 3^1
The reaction is also first order with respect to CO
b) The overall order of reaction is 1 + 1=2
c) The rate equation is;
Rate = k [CO] [Hbn]
d) 3.12 * 10^-4 = k [5 * 10^-4] [1.34 * 10^-3]
k = 3.12 * 10^-4 /[5 * 10^-4] [1.34 * 10^-3]
k = 3.12 * 10^-4/6.7 * 10^-7
k = 4.7 * 10^2 mmol-1 L s-1
e) The reaction occurs in one step because;
1) The rate law agrees with the experimental data.
2) The sum of the order of reaction of each specie in the rate law gives the overall order of reaction.
