medelpotential
Medelpotential, often referred to in English as mixed potential, is a concept in electrochemistry describing the electrode potential that arises at a surface where multiple redox reactions occur and no net current flows. It represents the balance point at which the competing anodic and cathodic processes neutralize each other, rather than a potential set by a single redox couple.
Mechanism and theory: Each electrochemical reaction on a surface has a polarization curve that relates current
Applications and scope: Medelpotential is used to interpret open-circuit potentials of metals in electrolytes, assess corrosion
Limitations: The model assumes distinct, separable reactions with well-defined kinetics and a relatively uniform surface. In
