magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
Milk of magnesia is a suspension of Magnesium Hydroxide in water, which is a base.
Milk of magnesia is a basic solution. Therefore, methyl orange shows a yellowish orange colour. Further, this indicator shows a red colour in acidic solutions.
Milk of magnesia is a basic (alkaline) substance because it contains magnesium hydroxide, which tends to increase the pH of a solution by accepting hydrogen ions.
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.
Milk of magnesia is basic (alkaline), not acidic.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
Yes-- Milk of Magnesia is a 10.5 on the pH scale, thus making it a base. (pH of 7 is neutral-- higher is more basic, lower is more acidic)
alkaline
Milk of magnesia is a suspension of Magnesium Hydroxide in water, which is a base.
Milk of magnesia contains MgO. It is more basic than NH3.
No, it is basic.
Milk of magnesia is a basic solution. Therefore, methyl orange shows a yellowish orange colour. Further, this indicator shows a red colour in acidic solutions.
Blue litmus paper remains blue when dipped in milk of magnesia because milk of magnesia is basic in nature.
Milk of magnesia, Mg(OH)2 is used to cure indigestion because it is basic and indigestion is acidic.
Milk of magnesia is a basic (alkaline) substance because it contains magnesium hydroxide, which tends to increase the pH of a solution by accepting hydrogen ions.
If you mean basic substances (as opposed to acidic), then here are a few: Bleach Ammonia Baking Soda Milk of Magnesia
