What is the scale that measures thr acidity or basicity of a solution?
pH
How do you calculate basicity?
Basicity is the opposite property of acidity. It can be calculated by using a litmus paper and a pH scale.
Is milk of magnesia acidic?
No it's alkali. This is because magnesium is an alkaline metal.
How do chemists express the degree of acidity or basicity of a substances?
ph scale
Is magnesia milk an acid or base?
Milk of magnesia (pH of 8.5) is a base because it is used to calm an upset stomach (due to too much acid).
What is the pH level of the milk of magnesia?
The pH of Milk of Magnesia is approximately 10.5
Does milk of magnesia have basic properties?
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)
Coffee has a pH of 5 and milk of magnesia has a pH of 10 Is coffee twice as acid as milk of magnesia?
Since the pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, a change in one pH unit signifies a tenfold modification in activity. In this case, coffee has a pH of 5, meaning that when compared to the pH of 10 in milk of magnesia, coffee is 100,000 (10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10) times more acidic than milk of magnesia.
Is milk of magnesia an acid or a bass?
Milk of Magnesia is an antacid and therefore a base with a ph of about 8.3
How do you calculate basicity?
Basicity is the opposite property of acidity. It can be calculated by using a litmus paper and a pH scale.
What is the scale that measures thr acidity or basicity of a solution?
pH
What is the difference between pH and acidity?
pH is a scale used to measure acidity or basicity.
Is milk of magnesia acidic?
No it's alkali. This is because magnesium is an alkaline metal.

Is magnesia milk an acid or base?
Milk of magnesia (pH of 8.5) is a base because it is used to calm an upset stomach (due to too much acid).
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.
How does milk of magnesia react to stomach acids?
Milk of magnesia does not act as a good buffer because the level of ph doesn't change rapidly. The ph needs to change for anything, acid or base.
