the aerial oxidation of hydroquinone in a freshly prepared developer solution at 20°c has been studied through the measurement of concentration changes by a spectrophotometric method. the concentration of consumed hydroquinone is directly proportional to time, and the equation til2 = c, / 0.0786 was obtained to calculate the half-life of the developer. in this equation, the half-life is in hour...
