    Given, standard electrode potentials of following reactions, \[F{{e}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe\,;\,\,{{E}^{o}}=-0.440\,\,V\] \[F{{e}^{3+}}+3{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe\,;\,\,{{E}^{o}}=-0.0.36\,\,V\] The standard electrode potential \[({{E}^{o}})\] for \[F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{2+}}\], is

    A)  -0.476 V                              

    B)  -0.404 V

    C)  + 0.404 V                            

    D)  + 0.772 V

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-nF{{E}^{o}}\]                 \[F{{e}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe\]       ... (i)                 \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-2\times F\times (-0.440\,\,V)\]                 = 0.880 F                 \[F{{e}^{3+}}+3{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Fe\]       ... (ii)                 \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-3\times F\times (-0.036)=0.108\,F\] On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii)                                 \[F{{e}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{2+}}\] \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=0.108\,F-0.880\,F=-0.772\,F\]                 \[{{E}^{o}}_{cell}=\frac{-\Delta {{G}^{o}}}{nF}\]                 \[=-\frac{(-0.772F)}{1\times F}=+0.772\,V\]
