What is the standard reduction potential (Eo)\left({E}^{o}\right) for Fe3+→Fe?<br/><br/>Giventhat:<br/><br/>{Fe}^{3 +} \to Fe ?<br /><br />Given that:<br /><br />{Fe}^{2 +} + 2{e}^{-} \to Fe; {E}_{{Fe}^{2 +} / Fe}^{o} = - 0 .47 V<br/><br/><br /><br />{Fe}^{3 +} + {e}^{-} \to {Fe}^{2 +}; {E}_{{Fe}^{3 +} / {Fe}^{2 +}}^{o} = + 0 .77 V

Options

  1. A−0.057V- 0 .057 V
  2. B+0.30V+ 0 .30 V
  3. C−0.30V- 0 .30 V
  4. D+0.057V+ 0 .057 V

Correct answer

A. −0.057V- 0 .057 V
