La linéarité dynamique de réponse. C’est la région pour laquelle la réponse d’un détecteur est directement proportionnelle à la concentration d’un composant. En général, le départ de la courbe linéaire de réponse correspond à la détection limite du composé analysé. Quand la limite de linéarité de l’appareil est atteinte, on observe un fléchissement de la droite, correspondant à la réponse de l’appareil pour un composant dont la quantité analysée augmente. Cette linéarité de réponse peut être limitée d’une part par la colonne et d’autre part par le détecteur; en général, l’électronique d’amplification, c’est-à-dire l’électromètre, a une dynamique de réponse beaucoup plus grande que les deux autres facteurs, à savoir la colonne et le détecteur. 2, record 3, French, - lin%C3%A9arit%C3%A9

In an electrode reaction, when reactants or intermediates are adsorbed, the rate of reaction may no longer be related to the concentration by a simple law. The deviation may be due to either entropic or energetic effects or both. The situation best understood is that where a reactant is non-specifically adsorbed in the outer Helmholtz plane (inner boundary of the diffuse layer). The effect of such adsorption on electrode kinetics is usually termed the Frumkin Effect. Rate constants, transfer coefficients etc. corrected for this effect are frequently called "true" rate constants etc. It would be preferable to describe them as "corrected for the Frumkin Effect", but in any case, if such a correction is carried out, the basis on which it is made should be clearly described. 1, record 6, English, - true%20rate%20constant

[In electrochemistry], the interfacial concentration ... is the concentration of that species at the boundary of the electric double layer facing the solution, i.e. just outside the region where the departures from the electroneutrality of the solution are significant. This concept is mainly used in the usual case where the thickness of the electric double layer is very small as compared to that of the diffusion layer. It is often calculated from theory or derived from measurements of the limiting current. 1, record 8, English, - interfacial%20concentration
