You would observe precipitation of magnesium hydroxide.
No. Magnesium oxide is not soluble in water. On contact with water it will form magnesium hydroxide.
magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
This solution is basic.
Yes, this solution (NH4OH, ammonium hydroxide) is alkaline.
magnesium hydroxide
The answer is: They increase the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.
You would observe precipitation of magnesium hydroxide.
-log(0.13) = 0.88 ----------- 14 - 0.88 = 13.12 1/10(13.12) = 7.59 X 10-14 M hydroxide ion concentration ----------------------------------------------------------

This solution is basic.
The chemical formula of magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2; this compound is extremely low soluble in water.
Both must be in solution, aqueous, to fit the definition, which is; an acidic solution has enough hydronium ion concentration to hydroxide concentration to have a pH lower than 7.0, while a basic solution has enough hydroxide ion concentration to be at a pH higher than 7.0. An acid and base are different in definition. Subtle, but a real difference.
