Problem 108 Hard Difficulty

Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate function as mild laxatives when they reach the small intestine. Why do magnesium hydroxide and magnesium citrate, two very different substances, have the same effect in your small intestine. (Hint: The contents of the small intestine are basic.)

Answer

since both the salts have active ingredient as $\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2},$ they have same effect on the small intestine.

so hydraulics is off. A story implies that it is being present in a water environment that is across environment and is undergoing a dissociation. So considering the association off magnesium hydroxide, we have MG which two, which gives up MG before they do less. Who which make it do since mg positive is a weak acid. So it is weak I have seen and which is strong bees MD Which toe is a basic sort, So this will be the basic sort going on to the next one. We have mg three c three. It's five or seven. No, the association in tow three mg boys do plus to say three. It's fine or 73 negative. In this case, the hydraulics is off and I informed, can be represented. US. C. Three. It's fine or seven three negative less Tilly Vegetable Will gives me EJ three c three Etch Fight or seven less three. Which negative, ASEC, Rika said, is a weak acid and which negative I into the strong bees. The sword off magnesium will be a basic salt, so this will be basic sort moral. What magnesium citrate converts in tow. Magnesium hydroxide in basic environment. Since bought the soul have active ingredient magnesium hydroxide. They have seen effect on
