Purpose of the developer is convert the exposed silver halide crystals into metallic silver grains ph is alkaline basic

What are two chemical in the developer

Metol/elon-builds up gray
Hydroquine-builds up black tones and contrast

Four functions in the developer

Developing agent
Preservative
Activator
Restrainer

Potassium sulfite -keeps reducing agents from developing unexposed silver halide

Sodium sulfite- prevent radio oxidation

5 steps to manual processing

Developing solution
Rinsing
Fixing
Washing
Drying

Developing solution temp and

68-70 degrees develop for 5 mins

Remove alkaline developer before placing film in the fixer 30 seconds

Stops further development establishing
-removes unexposed underdeveloped silver crystals
-hardens the emulsion

Ammonium thiosulfate - clears away unexposed silver halide

Acetic or sulfuric acid -stops development by neutralizing developer

Aluminum chloride or sulfide shrinks and hardens emulsion

Sodium sulfite -maintains chemical balance

What removes unexposed silver halide?

A clearing agent, also known as fixing agent, is the chemical that actually removed undeveloped silver halide crystals from the film. Sodium thiosulfate and ammonium thiosulfate are commonly used.

What is the chemical that removes the unexposed silver halide crystals on the film?

A chemical solution known as the fixer is used in the fixing process. The purpose of the fixer is to remove the unexposed, unenergized silver halide crystals from the film emulsion. The fixer hardens the film emulsion during this process. Fixation time is 10-15 minutes, double the developing time.

What is the main ingredient in dissolving the unexposed silver halides?

Sodium thiosulfate is a salt. It is the most important ingredient in the fixing solution because it dissolves the unexposed silver-halide crystals (the sodium thiosulfate is a solvent, because it dissolves the silver-halide crystals).

Which ingredient of the fixer removes all unexposed and any remaining undeveloped silver halide crystals?

sodium thiosulfate, aka "hypo" or hypo sulfite of sodium. It is one of several chemical ingredients in the fixer solution and functions to remove all unexposed and any remaining undeveloped silver bromide grains from the emulsion.
