24. Ritu wants to know that
how do we get “Magnesium
hydroxide Solution”?
Answers
Magnesium Hydroxide is a solution of magnesium hydroxide with antacid and laxative properties. Milk of magnesium exerts its antacid activity in low doses such that all hydroxide ions that enter the stomach are used to neutralize stomach acid. This agent exerts its laxative effect in higher doses so that hydroxide ions are able to move from the stomach to the intestines where they attract and retain water, thereby increasing intestinal movement (peristalsis) and inducing the urge to defecate.
Answer:
Magnesium hydroxide is a new type of filled flame retardant. It releases bound water when it is decomposed by heat and absorbs a large amount of latent heat to reduce the surface temperature of the synthetic material it fills in the flame. The resulting flammable gas performs a cooling effect.
