We have all made an enormous error. Claude explains below;
"A quite normal chemist can find out in minutes how it works".
"whatever I explain you will only believe your great scientist cause nothing else can be possible"
We (the many participants in this thread, an expert analytical chemist, and myself) have, of course, addressed alkalinity endlessly in this thread, including seeing actual alkalinity titration and IR analysis of the alkalinity part of the FM product and compared it to sodium bicarbonate (it matches) without seeing any viable explanation for the alkalinity issues. Trying to understand their explanations is like trying to grab smoke. One explanation comes along, is debunked, and it changes to something else.
Let's start here:
"The extras are described on the boxes and has absolute nothing to do with the Bolus effect".
The term extras leaves some wiggle room as to exactly what has nothing to do with it and what might. I'm not sure what is written on their boxes. The bucket shown above does not seem to address this issue at all, except to note that there is an additional product they recommend using called Balling Light Trace 3. Is that what has nothing to do with it? There's not much there if it does anyway. Not enough to add much alkalinity.
Let's look at the data they give there for the alk effect of the alk part.
500 grams of their alk solids in a total of 5 liters.
10 mL of that solution added to 100 liters adds 0.5 dKH.
Let's compare that to sodium bicarbonate, and to the measurement from my friend.
500 g of sodium bicarbonate (84 g/mole) contains 5.95 moles = 5,950 millimoles. In 5 L, that has a potency of 5,950 mM/5 l = 1.19 mM, which for bicarbonate equals meq/L. 5,950 meq/l = 3,333 dKH.
Adding 10 mL to 100 L is a dilution of 10,000, so the addition is 0.33 dKH, not the claimed 0.5 dKH.
Thus, if the potency claim is true, the product is not just sodium bicarbonate. It could theoretically be consistent with it being mostly sodium carbonate and some unknown material taking up space/mass in the product that does not add alkalinity.
What if the product was sodium carbonate? A similar calculation gives a potency of 5,280 dKH, and a boost of 0.53 dKH, which is pretty close to the claim of 0.5 dKH.
Thus, the bucket label (and likely the calculator as well) is consistent with the product being all or mostly all sodium carbonate.
What about the product itself?
As mentioned a few times already in this thread, an alkalinity titration of the actual product has the expected alkalinity of sodium bicarbonate, not sodium carbonate. The actual experiment was 303.9 mg of FM Carbonate mix in 1 L of ultrapure water. Alkalinity titration (in duplicate) of this solution revealed 10,02 dKH. The expected value if it was sodium bicarbonate is 10.13 dKH. The expected value if it was sodium carbonate is 16.1 dKH. Thus, it matches sodium bicarbonate and does not match sodium carbonate or ANY mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. As above, it could theoretically match a composition of mostly sodium carbonate and a significant amount (37% by mass) of something that cannot be detected in an alkalinity titration.
An infrared spectrum shows a match to a side by side run on sodium bicarbonate, and it does not match the spectrum of sodium carbonate. It also would not match a mixture of 63% sodium carbonate and some other nonalk material. The IR test clearly rules out the possibility of a significant amount of delayed alk additive in the product.
Thus, there seems to be an inconsistency between the bucket claim and the actual product that cannot be explained by other things in the composition.
I see no other possible composition of the FM alk product than sodium bicarbonate.
