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.
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.
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.
Is milk of magnesia a basic?
Milk of magnesia is a suspension of Magnesium Hydroxide in water, which is a base.
Why phenopthalein and milk of magnesia pink in colour?
Phenolphthalein turns pink due to its acidic pH, particularly in the presence of an acid. Milk of magnesia, which contains magnesium hydroxide, can turn pink when exposed to air due to slow oxidation of magnesium ions. This pink color change is not indicative of any chemical reaction or specific property of 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.
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.
What percentage of sodium hypochlorite is in milk of magnesia?
Sodium hypochlorite is not in milk of magnesia. Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide and water.
Why do you take Milk of Magnesia for indigestion?
Milk of magnesia, Mg(OH)2 is used to cure indigestion because it is basic and indigestion is acidic.
