reduktionssystem
A reduktionssystem, or reduction system, is a concept often encountered in chemistry and physics. It generally refers to a setup or process where a reduction reaction occurs. A reduction reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves the gain of electrons by one of the atoms, ions, or molecules involved. Conversely, oxidation involves the loss of electrons. These two processes, reduction and oxidation, are always coupled and occur simultaneously, forming what is known as a redox reaction.
In a reduktionssystem, one species is being reduced, while another species is being oxidized. The species that
Examples of reduktionssysteme are prevalent in various scientific fields. In electrochemistry, a voltaic cell or galvanic
