Question

and bases 1 of 9 next excess stomach acid is often treated with milk of magnesia, mg(oh)₂ or a similar substance. we would expect the ph of milk of magnesia to be approximately a 4 b 7 c 10.5 d 14 when excess stomach acid is treated with milk of magnesia mg(oh)₂, a chemical reaction takes place in your stomach

Explanation:

Milk of magnesia (Mg(OH)₂) is a base used to neutralize excess stomach acid (an acid). Bases have a pH > 7. pH 14 is very strong (like lye), while milk of magnesia is a mild base, so pH ~10.5 is reasonable. pH 4 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral.

Answer:

C. 10.5
