You're interesting me as I have some difficulties to find sodium metaborate but have borax and sodium hydroxyde ...
What's the procedure ?Do you really make sodium metaborate in crystalline form to re-use it later or do you just mix the proportional quantities of both directly into the final developer/fixer/... solution ?
So I went from commercial chemicals to mixing raw chemicals, and now I'm going to make the raw chemicals ...
Anyone having the formula to change lead into gold ? :-) Thanks, ClaudioThe metaborate is formed in solution. The formula I gave is for the equivalent of 100 grams. If the formula calls for some other amount multiply or devide the amounts in the formula by the amount you need. I probably also have the molar amounts somewhere but I think this is simpler for non-chemists like myself. For convenience its possible to mix the metaborate solution separately in a minimum quantity of water and mix that with the soluton you are making.
