The 1st law of thermodynamics doesn't specify that matter can be created nor destroyed, but that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed though it can be changed from one form to another.
Ionic bonds form between nonmetals and metals.
The reason ionic bonds are formed is because nonmetals and metals usually have high electronegativities, which essentially means that metals pull on nonmetals' electrons.
When a metal takes an electron from a nonmetal, the metal becomes negatively charged and the nonmetal becomes positively charged. Because opposite charges attract, the two atoms will stick together, thus forming an ionic bond

[CO] = 1 mol / 2L = 0.5 M

According to the equation:
and by using the ICE table:
CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔ CO2(g) + H2(g)
initial 0.5 0.5 0 0
change -X -X +X +X
Equ (0.5-X) (0.5-X) X X
when Kc = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2
by substitution:
1.845 = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2 by solving for X
∴X = 0.26
∴ [CO2] = X = 0.26
