electrochemical

Of or relating to chemical reactions brought about by electricity; galvanochemical.

Emanating from or pertaining to electrochemistry.

• e. equivalent — the atomic weight divided by the ionic valence of an electrolyte. Provides a quantitative indication of the combining properties of an electrolyte solution. The relationship between weight per volume and milliequivalents can be expressed as:
• $${\rm {{mg \ /100\ ml} \over atomic \ weight} \times Valence \times 10 = mEq/l}$$ — $${\rm {{mg \ /100\ ml} \over atomic \ weight} \times Valence \times 10 = mEq/l}$$
• e. gradient — the differences in electrochemial potential between two points.
• intestinal e. gradient — electrical potential differences and ion concentration differences across the external membrane of the intestinal mucosa arising from the active transport of most electrolytes and some nonelectrolytes across the membrane.
