22
Q

term for an excess fixer or silver sulfide stain

A

hyporetention or thiosulfate retention

23
Q

it is a cascade compartment type and has a developer tank, fixer tank and 2 wash tanks for initial and final washing. it uses hyponeutralizer as well

A

processing system tanks

24
Q

it has electrons that reduce SHC

A

developer

25
Q

these are given to film when developer is oxidized

A

electrons

26
Q

its function is convert latent image to manifest image

A

developing

27
Q

meaning of redox

A

reduction-oxidation

28
Q

meaning of europe

A

electrons are used in reduction, oxidation produces electrons

29
Q

combination of chemicals to make effect more powerful and an activity of each individual component of reducing agent in solution is less that the activity when two components are combined

A

superadditivity/synergism

30
Q

a small amount of fixer (0.1 ml) carries over to the developer will render it ineffective (fog)

A

developer contamination

31
Q

temperature for processing

A

20 degrees celcius or 68 farenheit

32
Q

it can be caused by evaporation or old or exhausted developer and has a strong ammonia odor

A

oxidized developer

33

36
Q

its primary functions is to remove, dissolve, clear away undeveloped SHC from the film

A
