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 an acid or bases?

It contains the base magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) , and also the salt, magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) . Both of which will neutralise acids.
