How do you know that a bond between magnesium and chlorine will be ionic?

If you have 5.25 grams of methane (ch4), how many grams of co2 will you produce ?

Given the following at 25c calculate delta hf for hcn (g) at 25c. 2nh3 (g) +3o2 (g) + 2ch4 (g) > 2hcn (g) + 6h2o (g) delta h rxn= -870.8 kj. delta hf=-80.3 kj/mol for nh3 (g), -74.6 kj/mol for ch4, and -241.8 kj/mol for h2o (g)

Suppose you mix one mole of sulfuric acid (h2so4) with 1 mole of sodium hydroxide(naoh). why does the ph of the solution remain below 7? ( explain so i can get better understanding! )
