Transition time

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012243",
  "term": "Transition time",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The duration from the start of electrolysis at a constant current until the concentration of the electroactive species at the electrode surface effectively drops to zero. This time is observed in chronopotentiometry, where a sudden change in electrode potential indicates the depletion of the species being reduced or oxidized. It is directly related to the concentration of the analyte by the Sand equation.",
