How could we modify the procedure to  expedite the analysis of milk of magnesia?   

This lab deals with back titration and analysis of different commercial antacids.  (milk of magnesia, rolaids,  buffering).  Antacids have one purpose: to neutralize excess Hydrogen ion in stomach and thus relieve acid indigestion.

Milk of Magnesia, an aqueous suspension of Mg(OH)2 is a simple antacid that neutralizes H+ according to the reaction: Mg(OH2) + 2H+ --> Mg2+ + 2H2O

I have no idea how to modify the procedure to expedite the analysis of milk of mganesisa, please give me any help.

Thanks.

Hard to know in what sense you mean, this statement, right here.  So lets try something else.  What is the method now, and what does it analyze.  Then we can try tow work modifcations to ... "expedite".
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
