Chapter 19: Problem 69
Based on the following standard reduction potentials: $$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-} & \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}(s) & & E_{1}^{\circ}=-0.44 \mathrm{~V} \\ \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q)+e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q) & E_{2}^{\circ} &=0.77 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}$$ calculate the standard reduction potential for the halfreaction:$$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q)+3 e^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}(s) \quad E_{3}^{\circ}=?$$
