pH for acidifier used in fixer should be:
Correct Answer: 4 - 4.5
Description: The fixing solution contains an acetic acid buffer system (pH 4 to 4.5) to keep the fixer pH constant. The acidic pH is required to promote good diffusion of thiosulfate into the emulsion and of silver thiosulfate complex out of the emulsion. The acid-fixing solution also inactivates any residual developing agents in the film emulsion, blocking continued development of any unexposed crystals while the film is in the fixing tank.
