Solution

The correct option is D +0.772V
Fe2++2eFe E01=0.440V ......(1)

Fe3++3eFe E02=0.036V ......(2)

we know that ΔG0=nFE0cell

to obtain the resultant equation, (2)(1)

that is-Fe3++eFe2+

ΔG0net=ΔG2ΔG1
which gives :
nFE0net=n2FE02(n1FE01)
n2=3
n1=2
For the resultant equation, n=1

Putting all the equation in the above obtained equation for the net Gibbs free energy we get,
E0net=0.108+0.88

=+0.772

hence option D is correct.
