Preferred Label : real potential of a species in a phase;
IUPAC definition : Defined for species B in phase β as \[\alpha _{{B}} {\beta } μ _{{B}} {\beta }\,-\,z_{{B}}\
F\ \psi {\beta }\] where µ B β is the electrochemical potential of species B in phase
β, z B is the charge number of species B, F is the Faraday constant, and ψ β is the
outer electric potential of phase β. Since ψ β is zero when the charge on the phase
β is zero, the real potential may be regarded as the value of the electrochemical
potential of the uncharged phase.;
