John are you sure of this? I would have thought that by "dehydrate" the
translator might have meant "without water" which would have been
"anhydrate" and I understand that most recipes assume anhydrate when
they specify the concentration. My limited knowledge of chemistry tells
me that the only difference between the 2 when making up aqueous
solutions is that the heavier dihydrate molecule would call for a very
slightly greater proportion of oxalic acid. Perhaps a chemist out there
could confirm this and perhaps even tell us how mush more dihydrate is
needed.
