Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[...] il existe deux situations courantes dans lesquelles on peut observer un courant de diffusion (ou courant contrôlé par la diffusion). Dans l'une, la vitesse de formation du composé B à partir du composé non électroactif C est faible et le courant est déterminé par la vitesse de diffusion de B vers la surface de l'électrode. Dans l'autre, C prédomine à l'équilibre dans la masse de la solution, mais sa transformation en B est rapide; C diffuse vers le voisinage de la surface de l'électrode où il est rapidement transformé en B qui est alors réduit. 1, record 3, French, - courant%20de%20diffusion
