No it's alkali. This is because magnesium is an alkaline metal.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
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.
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.
Milk of magnesia is a suspension of Magnesium Hydroxide in water, which is a base.
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 basic (alkaline), not acidic.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
alkaline
The bee-sting is acidic. Milk of magnesia is alkaline - the two cancel each other out... reducing pain.
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)
No, there is no milk in milk of magnesia. Milk of magnesia is a liquid laxative that contains the active ingredient magnesium hydroxide.
The reaction between milk of magnesia and the acids in your stomach is a neutralization reaction. The magnesium hydroxide in milk of magnesia reacts with the acidic stomach contents to form magnesium chloride and water, thereby neutralizing the acidity.
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.
magnesia
Sodium hypochlorite is not in milk of magnesia. Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide and water.
Milk of magnesia, Mg(OH)2 is used to cure indigestion because it is basic and indigestion is acidic.
Milk of magnesia can be purchased at a pharmacy or grocery store.
