Answer:

C-O: polar covalent

Mg-F: ionic

Cl-Cl: nonpolar covalent

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed between an atom of a metallic element and another atom of a non-metallic element. Thus, Mg-F is an ionic bond, in which Mg is the metal and F is the nonmetal.

Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metallic elements. So, C-O and Cl-Cl are covalent bonds, because C, O, and Cl are nonmetals.

In C-O, the atom of oxygen (O) has more electronegativity than the atom of carbon (C). Thus, O will attract the electrons with more strength and a difference in charge will be established between the two bonded atoms. So, this covalent bond is polar.

In Cl-Cl, both atoms have the same electronegativity because they are from the same chemical element (Cl). Thus, this bond is nonpolar.

How many moles of Co2 are produced when 0.2 moles of sodium carbonate reacts with excess HCl

Pie

To determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide that is produced, we need to know the reaction of the process. For the reaction of HCl and sodium carbonate, the balanced chemical equation would be expressed as:

2HCl + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

From the initial amount given of sodium carbonate and the relation of the substances from the balanced reaction, we calculate the moles of carbon dioxide as follows:

0.2 moles Na2Co3 ( 1 mol CO2 / 1 mol Na2Co3 ) = 0.2 moles CO2

Therefore, the amount in moles of carbon dioxide that is produced from 0.2 moles sodium carbonate would be 0.2 moles as well.
