Question

Milk of magnesia ha ph 10 . Give reasons

Answer 1

Hey....

Ascwe know Milk of magnesia

Is Basic in nature

So in Ph scale....

We get 10

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are other names for milk of magnesia. When a compound is acidic, then its ph is lower than 7 and it may have a large number of hydrogen ions, and when the compound is basic, then its pH is higher than 7 and it may have a large number of hydroxyl ions.

pH scale is  divided into three parts i.e. 0 – 6.9, 7, 7.1 – 14.

• The first part i.e. 0 – 6.9 is used to determine the acidic substance and it may have hydrogen ions that dissociate when the substance dissolves in water.
• The second part, 7, is used to express neutral compounds such as water. The third part, i.e. 7.1 – 14 is used to indicate the base substance and may have hydroxyl ions that dissociate when the substance dissolves in water.

The compound in question is the milk of magnesia. Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are other names for milk of magnesia. The composition of magnesia milk is Mg(OH)2. It is a compound made up of two ions, a magnesium cation and a hydroxyl anion, so it is a basic compound, which is why the pH of milk of magnesia is 10.5.
