Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.
Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.
Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond.

It condenses very long strings of numbers while retaining the general accuracy of the figure.
The heat from the hotter water will go into the colder water untl equilibrium is reached. Equilibrium is same temperature!
Now, the heat is proportional to the mass, the specific heat and the temperature difference. The specific heat does not matter since all is water, it will cancel out:
m_1 * c_H20 * ( T_final - T_1 ) = -m_2 * c_H20 * ( T_final - T_2)
Notice the minus, because one wins the heat of the one who loses it. In this way both sides have the same sign:
m_1*(T_final - T_1)=-m_2*(T_final-T_2), or after some simple algebra:
T_final = (m_1 * T_1 + m_2 * T_2 )/(m_1+m_2),
which looks like an arithmetic mean, and one could have gone for this, but the above shows all the work. Notice that if T_1=T_2, T_final=T_1 always, which makes sense.
Now you can convert volume to mass with the density, but since mass = density*volume and it is all water, the density will cancel out and you can work with volumes. If you prefer just say: 120 ml->120 g , etc ...
T_final = (120*95+320*25)/(320+120)=44.0909 degrees Celsius, or ~ 44.09 degrees with two decimal precision as your statement (beware of precision always!).
Answer: The average kinetic energy is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. Gas particles are in random motion. Gas particles have no volume. And the collisions between gas particles are elastic.
Explanation: I heard this question before, I think. Hope this helps!
