Black coffee has a pH of 5 and milk magnesia has a pH of 10 Is coffee twice as acididc as milk of magnesia?
Coffee is acidic. Milk of magnesia is basic. A neutral pH is
7.
pH is logarithmic, so a pH of 5 is 10 times more acid than a pH
of 6.
since coffee is 2 less than 7 and milk of magnesia is 3 more
than 7 it takes 1 part milk of magnesia to 10 parts coffee to
neutralize each other.
