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++eFe2+E2o0.77

'n' factor=1

G2=-1×F×0.77

iii Fe2++2eFe 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
