Would a molecule with polar covalent bonds be soluble in water?

Yes, in chemistry polar molecules are soluble with other polar molecules. You know that water is polar because of it's structure. Two hydrogens are bonded the an oxygen. The oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that cause the molecule to have a bent VSEPR structure. This creates a net dipole due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. Essentially, the oxygen is slightly negative and the hydrogens slightly positive. So, yes your polar molecule is soluble with water (also polar).
