Question 1 Report

A liquid that will dissolve fat is
Answer Details
A liquid that can dissolve fat is typically a nonpolar solvent, meaning it does not have a strong electrical charge. This is because fat molecules themselves are nonpolar and do not dissolve easily in polar solvents like water.
Out of the given options, kerosene is the only nonpolar solvent, and therefore the only option that could potentially dissolve fat. Hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide are polar solvents, and water is a highly polar solvent, and would not be able to dissolve fat.
