Question

is magnesium hydroxide an acid ? can you explain me why/ why not​

Answer 1

Answer:

Suspensions of magnesium hydroxide in water (milk of magnesia) are used as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid, and a laxative. The diarrhea caused by magnesium hydroxide carries away much of the body's supply of potassium, and failure to take extra potassium may lead to muscle cramps.

Answer 2

ITS A BASE

A WEAK BASE

$\huge \mathfrak \red{answer}$

Because Mg(OH) 2 is listed in Table 12.2 "Strong Acids and Bases", it is a strong base. The nitrogen in C 5H 5N would act as a proton acceptor and therefore can be considered a base, but because it does not contain an OH compound, it cannot be considered a strong base; it is a weak base.
