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.
Which one is more acidic milk of magnesia or household amonia?
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
Is Milk of magnesia acidic or basic?
magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
What color would methyl orange be in milk of magnesia?
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.
Which acid or base is present in milk of magnesia?
Milk of Magnesia is basic, so there are bases in it - not acids. Magnesium Hydroxide is in it (Mg(OH)2).
What is more basic amonia or milk of magnesia?
Milk of magnesia contains MgO. It is more basic than NH3.
Is milk of magnesia neutral?
No, it is basic.

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.
