Solution

The correct option is D $- 0.4395 v o l t$
$F e^{3 +} + 3 e^{-} ⇌ F e, E^{\circ} = - 0.036 V; △ G^{\circ} = - n F E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = 10422 V \dots (1)$
$F e^{3 +} + e^{-} ⇌ F e^{2 +}, E^{\circ} = 0.771 v o l t; △ G^{\circ} = - 74401.5 V ⟶ (2)$
Subtracting $(2)$ from $(1)$ , we get,
$F e^{2 +} + 2 e^{-} ⇌ F e; △ G^{\circ} = 84823.5$
$∴ E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = \frac{- △ G^{\circ}}{n F} = \frac{- 84823.5}{2 \times 96500} = - 0.4395 V$
