Hapetustilanne
Hapetustilanne refers to the redox state of a particular environment or substance. Redox, short for reduction-oxidation, describes a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred between atoms or molecules. In an oxidation reaction, a substance loses electrons, while in a reduction reaction, a substance gains electrons. The hapetustilanne quantifies the tendency of a system to gain or lose these electrons.
Environments can be broadly classified as oxidizing or reducing based on their hapetustilanne. Oxidizing environments are
Measuring the hapetustilanne often involves determining the concentration of specific redox-active species or employing electrochemical methods
