French term or phrase: d’approximativement
Hi there,

"Afin de pouvoir équilibrer la consommation de charges, une réaction d’oxydation doit avoir lieu à l’extrémité opposée et il est fait l’hypothèse qu’il s’agit de l’oxydation de l’eau :
"......"

Il s’ensuit immédiatement que, dans ce cas, une différence de potentiel minimale d’approximativement :
....

différence de potentiel minimale=minimal potential difference

should this be d'approximation? Any ideas?

Thank you so much

Explanation:
Approximativement is listed in both my Larousse French to English Dictionary and my Collins/Robert as meaning 'approximately'. I've included a link from Reverso.net online dictionary showing this too.
