Would there be a chart available that would bring together the conversion factors for sodium and potassium as well as for anhydrous, mono, and other differing water weights all into one neat page?
For example I will be putting together a developer that calls for anhydrous potassium carbonate but I only have monohydrated sodium carbonate on hand. Going from anhydrous to mono for sodium, from what I remember, the factor is 1.17, while in the other direction it would be 0.85. The potassium to sodium conversion I am unclear about. I know I could just buy the anhydrous potassium carbonate but if I all ready have the sodium version on hand and if it will work just the same then I would be all set. Unless there is good reason to not use what I have. Like some kind of benefit to using the potassium version?
The developer in question is toward Crawley's FX-55 developer. I am in the process, no pun intended, of getting a new gram scale that will be set up for two decimal places, for the phenidone-A that I will be ordering.
Until I find a way to safely warm up glycol I will be mixing with the powder way first. I had thought to use a microwave for heating glycol but something in my head was like yeah wait a minute: there is only one and you can't use it because it is for food and also because anything but water could have some kind of chance of creating a boom if not careful. In my case that wouldn't be too hard to do, lol.
