Solution

The correct option is A 1.212 V
FeFe2++2e.......................... (i)

EoFe/Fe2+=EoFe2+/Fe=+0.441

Fe3++eFe2+

2Fe3++2e2Fe2+................(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii) we get,

Fe+2Fe3+3Fe2+

For this reaction, no. of electron used in oxidation is equal to no. of electron used for reduction. So,

Eocell=EoOPFe/Fe2++EoROFe3+/Fe2+

Eo=0.441+0.771=1.212V
