Arm & Hammer baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Sodium Carbonate
is Na2CO3. They are different and react differently.

They are 2 different chemicals
Mule Team Borax is Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) - Decahydrate
It is a mild alkali used in developers
Arm & hammer soda is Sodium Carbonate (decahydrate)
It is a moderate alkali (stronger than borax) and can't be substituted by
borax
I believe some of the pool Ph+ supplies are also carbonate but I'm not
sure.
Anchell's Darkroom Cookbook states that Na-Carbonate can substitute
balanced alkali or sodium metaborate (Kodalk) but not Borax.
use 0.57 g of Na-Carbonate to replace 1g of Balanced Alkali but not Borax

When mixing my own chemistry, can regular old Mule Team Borax
be substituted for Sodium Carbonate (Monohydrated)?
