The formal potential of Fe³⁺ /Fe⁴⁺ in a sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid mixture (E° = + 0.61 V) is much lower than the standard potential (E° = + 0. 77 V). This is due to

• formation of the species [FeHPO₄]⁺

• lowering of potential upon complexation

• formation of the species [FeSO₄]⁺

• high acidity of the medium
