Answer:

Explanation:

Liquid water is held together by hydrogen bonds. (Liquid water has fewer hydrogen bonds than ice.) Oils and fats not have any polar part and so for them to dissolve in water they would have to break some of water's hydrogen bonds. Water will not do this so the oil is forced to stay separate from the water.

Answer: d) $MgCl_2$ and $H_2O$ 

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A neutralization reaction is a double displacement reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water. The $H^+$ ions from water reacts with $OH^-$ ions from base to give water.
