What is the difference between chemical and electrical gradient? When defined, they both sound very similar; is there a way to distinguish between the two?

chemical gradient is defined as the a gradient appearance by the dissimilarity in concentration of a certain type of solute in an universal solvent take examples like salt in water.

electrical gradient is defined as the disparity between the electrical potential of a given solute in an universal solvent. fundamentally, if the chemical that establishes the chemical gradient is electrically charged. Then the diversity in the charge over the barrier will produce an electrical gradient

hope it helps
