Milk of magnesia is a suspension of Magnesium Hydroxide in water, which is a base.
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.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
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.
Milk of Magnesia is basic, so there are bases in it - not acids. Magnesium Hydroxide is in it (Mg(OH)2).
Milk of magnesia contains MgO. It is more basic than NH3.
No, it is basic.
Blue litmus paper remains blue when dipped in milk of magnesia because milk of magnesia is basic in nature.
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.
Milk of magnesia is basic (alkaline), not acidic.
It contains Magnesium Hydroxide.It is a basic compound.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
basic.
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)
