  "term": "Indifferent electrolyte",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A substance added to an electrochemical cell solution that does not participate in the electrode reactions but provides sufficient conductivity to minimize the ohmic potential drop. It maintains a relatively constant ionic strength within the solution. This type of electrolyte typically consists of a salt with ions that are not easily oxidized or reduced within the potential range of interest.",
