What is the Chemical Nature of Milk of Magnesia?
Magnesium hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂. It occurs in nature as the mineral brucite. It is a white solid with low solubility in water. Magnesium hydroxide is a common component of antacids, such as milk of magnesia, as well as laxatives.
What is the Change of Color when Base is added to Milk of Magnesia?
Place about 100 mL of Milk of Magnesia in a 500 mL beaker and dilute with tap water until the beaker is about half full. Add about 10 mL of Universal Indicator. The Universal Indicator will turn red on the far acidic end of the scale and dark blue on the alkaline side.
