From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Faraday paradox in electrochemistry. For Faraday paradox in electromagnetism, see Faraday paradox.
The Faraday paradox was a once inexplicable aspect of the reaction between nitric acid and steel. Around 1830, the English scientist Michael Faraday found that diluted nitric acid would attack steel, but concentrated nitric acid would not.[1] The attempt to explain this discovery led to advances in electrochemistry.
