No, It is a weak base.
Hydroxides are bases.
Acetic acid is an example of a weak acid. It only partially dissociates in water, releasing fewer hydrogen ions compared to a strong acid like hydrochloric acid.
An example of a weak base that can neutralize stomach acid is magnesium hydroxide, commonly found in antacid medications. When magnesium hydroxide reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it forms magnesium chloride and water, helping to raise the pH level in the stomach and provide relief from heartburn or indigestion.
Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 and is a base stomach acid is a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid or HCl, a strong acid. They will react chemically to produce magnesium chloride an water. MgOH + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + 2H2O
Magnesium acetate in its aqueous state is neutral or slightly acid.
Magnesium hydroxide is not an acid nor does it contain one. Like other hydroxides it is a base.
Magnesium tartrate (MgC4H4O6) is not considered a basic compound; it is a salt formed from the reaction of tartaric acid (a weak acid) and magnesium hydroxide (a weak base). In solution, it does not exhibit significant basic properties, as it does not increase the concentration of hydroxide ions. Instead, it is generally neutral to slightly acidic, depending on the conditions.
Hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide react to form magnesium chloride and water.

The salt formed when magnesium hydroxide is neutralized by hydrochloric acid is magnesium chloride (MgCl2). This is because the H+ ions from the hydrochloric acid replace the OH- ions from magnesium hydroxide, leading to the formation of magnesium chloride and water.
Most medications include antacids, which are weak bases (e.g. calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide) to neutralize excess stomach acid.
Magnesium nitrate (salt) and water are produced.
The products formed are magnesium chloride and water.
