Calculate the standard electrode potentialEofor

Fe++++e-Fe++

From the given standard electrode potentials value of two half cells

Fe+++2e-Fe;Eo=-0.440V

Fe++++3e-Fe;Eo=-0.036V

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

ΔGo=-nEoF

Fe2++2e-Fe.....(i)

ΔGo=-2×F×(-0.440V)=0.880F

Fe3++3e-Fe.....(ii)

ΔG o =3×F× 0.036 =0.108F

On subtracting equation (i) from (ii)

Fe3++e-Fe2+

ΔG o =0.108F0.880F=0.772F

Eofor the reaction=-ΔGonF=-(-0.772F)1×F=+0.772V
