To answer your question, Vitamin K is fat-soluble.

What will happen if you put a vitamin in liquid?
If the liquid is water,vitamins such as A,D,E,K dissolve. Hence they are known as water soluble vitamins. If liquid is fat or oil,vitamins such as B,C dissolve. Hence they are known as fat soluble vitamins.
What is the two main types of vitamins?

What vitamins are A D and E?

What is an example of a water-soluble vitamin?
A B and C are water soluble. D and E fat soluble.

What two classifications are used to describe vitamins?
Fat-soluble: Vitamins dissolve in fat, and they are stored in fatty tissues in the body (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) Water-soluble: Vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored in the body
What does fat souble mean?
I'm assuming that meant "fat soluble" and it's a typo in the question?Fat-soluble basically refers to the ability of a nutrient to dissolve in fat as opposed to those which dissolve in water (water-soluble). In nutrition we usually ascribe this term to the solubility of nutrients, most oftenly vitamins, in the bloodstream.All vitamins are either water soluble or fat soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins cannot be absorped in water and because of this they need the availability of bile from the lymphatic system to enable them to dissolve in the blood stream.Fat soluble vitamins: A,D,E, and K.water soluble vitamins: B's and C.Fat soluble nutrients, unlike water soluble nutrients, don't need to be consumed with the same regularity because they can be stored in adipose tissue (fatty layers under skin) and in the liver.I hope this has shed some light on your question, if I can help further just holler.
Which two classes are Vitamins placed in?

What is the difference between water soluble and water unsoluble vitamins?
Basically vitamins are two kinds.1. Water soluble vitamins2. Fat soluble vitaminsWater Soluble Vitamins:These vitamins are easily dissolved in water. Water-soluble vitamins are carried to the body's tissues. Body keeps the amount what it needs and the excess amounts are excreted in the urine. Body cannot store the water-soluble vitamins. Every person needs continuous supply of water soluble vitamins in order to maintain healthy body. Plants and animal foods are good food sources for these vitamins.Fat Soluble Vitamins:Fat soluble vitamins cannot dissolve in water, generally these vitamins are stored in fat.
