My brain is on strike...I think I'm doing this right, but it's just one of those days where it doesn't LOOK right. I was also one of those kids who was tormented by the teacher in math so I already doubt just about any calculation I do.
Here are my starting numbers...
10g of CA neutralizes 6.24g of NaOH (numbers courtesy of DeeAnna!)
My recipe uses:
40.81g of Citric Acid
355.07g of 1:1 premixed lye solution
272.09g added water
(40.81/10)*6.24=25.5 extra lye needed
25.5*2=51g of extra lye solution needed
So I need 406g of lye solution and to reduce my added water to 246.6g
Do I get a gold star?
I know that it's not that huge a deal to the super fat, but I've recently switched to working with premixed solution and part of running the equation is just to make sure I'm understanding everything correctly.
