However, these potentials were often measured in strong acidic media w4x when equilibrated composition of H m HPA-x solutions is very complicated due to 2q Ž the presence of cations VOq see 2 and VO . later . In the present work, the redox potentials of H m HPA-x solutions at various m are measured in 0.2 and 0.01 M H m HPA-x solutions without the addition of strong acids, with 0.2 M H m HPA-x solutions mostly used as catalysts w1x. Nevertheless, 0.01 M H m HPA-x solutions 2q are little affected by cations VOq , 2 and VO and therefore they are more preferable for potentiometric study.

Redox potentials E and pH values of H m HPA-x solutions Ž0 F m F x . were measured at 293 K using a digital ionomerer I-130.

In aqueous solutions, HPA-x are always in equilibrium with cations VOq 2 due to their acidity w7x:
