Question

Give the ph value of milk of magnesia.

Answer 1

Milk of Magnesia:

1. Milk of Magnesia is a common name for the inorganic compound Magnesium hydroxide $\left(\mathrm{Mg}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\right)$.
2. Milk of Magnesia is a white solid and one of the key components of antacids.
3. Milk of Magnesia is an alkaline solution of Water and Magnesium hydroxide$\left(\mathrm{Mg}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\right)$.
4. The solubility of Milk of Magnesia in water is less at $25°\mathrm{C}$ but increases when the temperature increases to $100°\mathrm{C}$.
5. Generally, metallic hydroxides are basic in nature and have a pH greater than 7 at 25 degrees Celcius.

So, Milk of Magnesia will have pH$>7$.
