How many moles of ions are released when 0.27 mol CoCl2 is dissolved in water?

Each molecule CoCl2 ionises in three single ions (1 Co2+ and 2 Cl- ions), so 0.27 mol CoCl2 gives 3 * 0.27 = 0.81 mole ions (0.27 mole Co2+ and 0.54 mole Cl- ions)

How many Co atoms are there in 230 grams of CoCl2?

To answer this question you need the molecular weight of CoCl2. CoCl2 molecular weight is 129.84 g/mole 230g CoCl2 divided by the molecular weight 230 g / 129.84 g/mole = 1.77 moles of CoCl2 Multiply the moles by Avagodro's number 1.77 mole * 6.022 X 1023 molecules/mole = 1.07 X 1024 molecules of CoCl2

Is ClCO a diatomic molecule?

No, not at all...and you got the formula wrong, too. It should be COCl2--double bond between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, single bonds between the chlorine atoms and the carbon atom. The chemical formed is called Phosgene, which is a valuable industrial chemical but also a lethal gas used in World War I to kill soldiers on the battlefield. Phosgene may be the most widely produced industrial chemical around. It is so dangerous it's illegal to transport it. At the same time, it's very versatile...so if you need some to make whatever it is you make, you must also set up a phosgene reactor on the grounds of your factory.
