Is milk of magnesia acid or magnesia?
Milk of magnesia is a suspension of compounds. One is a chemical salt and the other is a base. They are given for acidosis/reflux/heartburn/ It is NOT Acidic. The human stomach works a pH = 1, naturally secretes hydrochloric acid into , in order to digest food. However, if you eat too much food or too much fatty food. the stomach has to work 'overtime' to make hydrochloric acid. That horrible burning sensation in the throat on refluxing is the hydrochloric acid coming up So to neutralise the excess acid in the stomach milk of magnesia if given. The magnesium carbonate and the magnesium hydroxide both neutralise acids. to form a salt, water and CARBON DIOXIDE. 2HCl +MgCO3 = MgCl2 + H2O + CO2(burp) & 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 = MgCl2 + 2H2O ( no CO2 with this one). NB After a meal it is better to eat acidic fruit, like apples, oranges, etc., to aid digestion, as the common ion (H^(+)) effect takes over.

Is milk of magnesia acid base or neutral?
basic.
Is milk of magnesia a acid base or neutral?
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.
What alkali is in milk of magnesia?
Magnesium (Mg). Milk of Magnesia is Mg(OH)2
Is milk of magnesia an acid or bases?
Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide. It is basic in nature and is one of antacids, which is used to curb acidity.
What is the reaction between milk of magnesia and stomach and acid?
Milk of magnesia, which contains magnesium hydroxide, reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) to form magnesium chloride and water. This reaction helps to neutralize excess stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion.
