Solution

The correct option is A $E_{F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}} = 0.711 V$
The given half cell electrode is a redox electrode.
Here, electrode potential results due to the presence of ions of the same substance in different oxidation states.
The given redox electrode reaction is,
$F e^{3 +} (a q) + e^{-} ⇌ F e^{2 +} (a q)$ (reduction)

Nernst equation for
$a A + b B ⇋ c C + d D$

$E = E^{0} - \frac{2.303 R T}{n F} l o g \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d}}{[A]^{a} [B] b} . . . . . (E q n . 1)$

Substituting,

$R = 8.314 J K^{- 1} m o l^{- 1}$

$F = 96500 C / m o l$

$T = 25 + 273 = 298 K$ , we get,

$E = E^{0} - \frac{0.059}{n} l o g \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d}}{[A]^{a} [B] b} . . . . (E q n . 2)$
where,
n is the number of electrons inovolved in the reaction.

For given half cell reaction,
$E_{F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}} = E_{F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}}^{0} - \frac{0.059}{n} l o g \frac{[F e^{2 +}]}{[F e^{3^{+}}]}$

$E_{F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}} = 0.77 - \frac{0.059}{1} l o g \frac{0.1}{0.01}$

$E_{F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}} = 0.77 - \frac{0.059}{1} l o g 10$

$E_{F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}} = 0.711 V$
