    Magnesium hydroxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_hydroxide Magnesium hydroxide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with Magnesium hydroxide the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. As a suspension in water, it is often called milk of magnesia because of its milk-like appearance. The solid mineral form of IUPAC name magnesium hydroxide is known as brucite. Magnesium hydroxide Other names Magnesium hydroxide is a common component of Milk of Magnesia antacids and laxatives; it interferes with the absorption Identifiers [2] of folic acid and iron. Magnesium hydroxide has low CAS number 1309-42-8 solubility in water, with a K of 1.5×10−11; all of PubChem 14791 sp RTECS OM3570000 magnesium hydroxide that does dissolve does number dissociate. Since the dissociation of this small amount Properties of dissolved magnesium hydroxide is complete, Molecular Mg(OH) 2 magnesium hydroxide is considered a strong formula electrolyte.
