What is the standard reduction potentialEoforFe3+→Fe?

Given that:

Fe2++2e-→Fe;EFe2+/Feo=-0.47V

Fe3++e-→Fe2+;EFe3+/Fe2+o=+0.77V

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

i Fe3+→Fe  E1o;

'n' factor=3

ΔG1∘=−3 ×F×E1o

ii Fe3++e−→Fe2+E2o; 0.77

'n' factor=1

∆G2∘=-1×F×0.77

iii Fe2++2e−→Fe E3o=-0.47 

'n' factor=2

∆G3∘=-2×F×-0.47

ΔG1=ΔG2+ΔG3

−3FE1o = −1×0.77×F+2×0.47×F

-E1o=2×0.47+-0.77F3F=0.057 V

E1o=- 0.057 V
