Redoksstatus
Redoksstatus, often translated as redox status, is a description of the overall oxidation–reduction state of a chemical system. It reflects the tendency of the system to gain electrons (be reduced) or to lose electrons (be oxidized) under the given conditions. The redoksstatus is primarily determined by the redox potential, the relative activities of oxidants and reductants, and, in aqueous systems, by pH and the presence of catalytic species. It is not a fixed property of a substance alone but a property of a system defined by composition, temperature, and environment.
Redox potential and measurement: The tendency to gain or lose electrons is quantified by the redox (Eh)
Applications: In chemistry and materials science, redoksstatus helps predict reaction direction and stability of species, e.g.,
Measurement and assessment: Eh measurements with platinum or gold working electrodes and reference electrodes are common.
