What substance is used as a tanning agent to harden and preserve the emulsion?

  1. Potassium Bromide

  2. Aluminum Salts

  3. Sodium Chloride

  4. Calcium Carbonate

The correct answer is: Aluminum Salts

Aluminum salts are used as a tanning agent to harden and preserve the emulsion. Potassium bromide and sodium chloride do not have the properties necessary for tanning. Calcium carbonate can be used as a pH stabilizer, but does not function as a tanning agent.
