E∘(FeX3+/FeX2+)=0.77V. The reduction potential of a platinum electrode dipped in a solution with [FeX3+]=0.1M and [FeX2+]=1.0M at 298 K is (take 2.303RT/F=0.0591V)
A0.711V
B0.829V
C0.740V
D0.651V
Answer: A
For FeX3++eX−FeX2+, n=1 and E=E∘+0.0591log[FeX2+][FeX3+]. Here log(0.1/1.0)=−1, so E=0.77−0.0591=0.7109≈0.711V. Lowering the oxidised form lowers the potential.
