L'acidité potentielle dépend uniquement de la masse des matières acides en présence et non de leur forme. En d'autres termes, c'est l'acidité formée par les ions H+ fixés sur le complexe absorbant. On l'appelle ainsi parce qu'elle est sous forme de réserve prête à remplacer l'acidité active, à mesure que celle-ci disparaît. 4, record 1, French, - acidit%C3%A9%20potentielle
