oxidation-reduction potential cell
1oxidation-reduction potential — n the standard potential of an atom or ion that undergoes oxidation at the anode or reduction at the cathode in an electrochemical cell as compared to the potential of a standard hydrogen electrode when it is undergoing the same process called… …
2oxidation-reduction potential — noun : the potential at which oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction at the cathode in an electrochemical cell; especially : the standard potential referred to the standard hydrogen electrode as zero symbol E°; called also redox potential;… …
3Reduction potential — (also known as redox potential, oxidation / reduction potential, ORP or Eh) is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced. Reduction potential is measured in volts (V), or millivolts (mV). Each… …
