    What is the standard reduction potential \[(E{}^\circ )\] for \[F{{e}^{3+}}\to Fe\]? Given that: \[F{{e}^{2+}}2{{e}^{-}}\to Fe;\,\,\,\,\,E{}^\circ {{\,}_{F{{e}^{2+}}/Fe}}=-0.47\,V\] \[F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\to F{{e}^{2+}};\,\,E{{{}^\circ }_{F{{e}^{3+}}/F{{e}^{2+}}}}=+0.77\,V\]

    A) \[-\,\,0.057\,\,V\]

    B)        \[+\,\,0.057\,\,V\]

    C) \[+\,\,0.30\,\,V\]

    D)                    \[-\,\,0.30\,\,V\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\Delta G{}^\circ =-nFE{}^\circ \] (i) \[F{{e}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe;\]\[E{}^\circ \,\,=-0.47V;\] (ii) \[\underline{F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{2+}};}\]\[E{}^\circ =+0.77\,\,V;\] (iii) \[F{{e}^{3+}}+3{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe\] (i) \[\Delta G{}^\circ =-nF{{E}^{0}}=-2\,\,(-0.47)F=0.94\,F\]) (ii) \[\underline{\Delta {{G}^{0}}=-nF{{E}^{0}}=-1\,(+0.77)F=-0.77\,\,F}\] (iii) On adding: \[\Delta {{G}^{0}}=+\,0.17\,F\] \[\Delta {{G}^{0}}=-nF{{E}^{0}}\] \[{{E}^{0}}\,\text{for}\,\,(F{{e}^{3+}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe)\] \[=\frac{\Delta {{G}^{0}}}{-nF}=\frac{0.17F}{-3F}=-0.057\,\,V\]
