Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given cell reaction:
Pt(s)∣H2(g,1atm)∣H+(aq,1M)∣∣Fe3+(aq),Fe2+(aq)Pt(s){Pt}_{\left(s\right)}\left|{H}_{2}\left(g, 1atm\right)\right|{H}^{+}\left(aq, 1M\right) | | {Fe}^{3 +}\left(aq\right), {Fe}^{2 +}\left(aq\right) Pt \left(s\right)

at anode(oxidation) H2⟶2H++2e−{H}_{2} ⟶ 2{H}^{+} + 2{e}^{-}

At cathode(reduction) Feaq3++e−⟶Feaq2+{Fe}_{aq}^{3 +} + {e}^{-} ⟶ {Fe}_{aq}^{2 +}

E°cell=Ecathodeo−Eanodeo=EoH2∣H++EoFe3+∣Fe2+=0.771VE{°}_{cell} = {E}_{cathode}^{o} - {E}_{anode}^{o} = {E}^{o}{H}_{2} | {H}^{+} + {E}^{o}{Fe}^{3 +} ∣ {Fe}^{2 +} = 0 . 771V

Thus, using Nernst equation,
⇒E=E°−0⋅061logFe2+Fe3+⇒ E = E ° - \dfrac{0 \cdot 06}{1}log\dfrac{{Fe}^{2 +}}{{Fe}^{3 +}}

⇒0.712=(0+0.771)−0.061logFe2+Fe3+⇒ 0 . 712 = \left(0 + 0 . 771\right) - \dfrac{0 . 06}{1}log\dfrac{{Fe}^{2 +}}{{Fe}^{3 +}}

⇒logFe2+Fe3+=0.0590.06≈1⇒ log\dfrac{{Fe}^{2 +}}{{Fe}^{3 +}} = \dfrac{0 . 059}{0 . 06} \approx 1

Fe2+Fe3+=10\dfrac{{Fe}^{2 +}}{{Fe}^{3 +}} = 10
