Solution

The correct option is D $+ 0.04 V$
We calculate the desired value of $E^{\circ}$ by converting the given $E^{\circ}$ values to $Δ G^{\circ}$ values, and combining these reduction reactions to obtain the desired equation.
$F e^{3 +} (a q) + e^{-} \to F e^{2 +} (a q)$
$Δ G^{\circ} = - n F E^{\circ} = - 1 \times 96485 {C mol}^{- 1} \times 0.771 V = - 74.39 {k J mol}^{- 1}$
$F e^{2 +} (a q) + 2 e^{-} \to F e (s)$
$Δ G^{\circ} = - n F E^{\circ} = - 2 \times 96485 {C mol}^{- 1} \times (- 0.447 V) = 86.26 {k J mol}^{- 1}$
We next add the two equations as well as their $Δ G^{\circ}$ to obtain
$F e^{3 +} (a q) + 3 e^{-} \to F e (s)$
$Δ G^{\circ} = - 74.39 k J m o l^{- 1} + 86.26 {k J mol}^{- 1} = 11.87 {k J mol}^{- 1}$
$E_{F e^{3 +} / F e}^{\circ} = - \frac{Δ G^{\circ}}{n F} = \frac{- 11.87 \times 10^{3} J m o l^{- 1}}{3 \times 96485 {C mol}^{- 1}} = - 0.041 V$
