CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
negative pole → negativan pol
Negative pole is that half-cell in electrochemical cell that has the most negative electrode potential.
Nessler’s reagent → Nesslerov reagens
Nessler’s reagent is a solution of mercury(II) iodide (HgI2) in potassium iodide and potassium hydroxide named after the German chemist Julius Nessler (1827-1905). It is used in testing for ammonia, with which it forms a brown coloration or precipitate.
overpotential → prenapon
Overpotential (η) is a potential that must be applied in an electrolytic cell in addition to the theoretical potential required to liberate a given substance at an electrode. The value depends on the electrode material and on the current density.
positive pole → pozitivni pol
Positive pole is that half-cell in the electrochemical cell which has the most positive electrode potential.
reaction layer → reakcijski sloj
Reaction layer (in electrochemistry) is that layer of solution adjacent to an electrode within which a stationary distribution of electroactive species is established as the result of homogeneous reaction.
reversible cell → povrativi članak
Reversible cell is an electrical cell the chemical action in which can be reversed by passing through it a current opposite in direction to that generated by the cell.
voltametry → voltametrija
Voltametry is a common name for a large group of instrumental techniques which are based on measuring the electric current formed by a continuous potential shifting on the electrodes.
electrogravimetry → electrogravimetrija
Electrogravimetry is an electroanalytical technique in which the substance to be determined (usually a metal) is deposited out on an electrode which is weighed before and after the experiment. The potential of the electrode must be carefully chosen to ensure that only the metal do be determined will deposit.
electrolysis → elektroliza
Electrolysis is the decomposition of a substance as a result of passing an electric current between two electrodes immersed in the sample.
