Milk of magnesia is what type of substance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mildly basic

Milk of magnesia is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2. Magnesium hydroxide is a weak or mildly basic substance, so it can neutralise some excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Therefore option A is correct. It is not a strong acid, a neutral salt, or metallic magnesium; the name refers to the hydroxide suspension rather than the pure metal.
