Correct answer: 1825

  1. Given standard reduction potentials

The sequence is:

FeO42−→+2.2 VFe3+→+0.70 VFe2+→−0.45 VFe0\mathrm{FeO_4^{2-} \xrightarrow[ ]{+2.2\,V} Fe^{3+} \xrightarrow[ ]{+0.70\,V} Fe^{2+} \xrightarrow[ ]{-0.45\,V} Fe^0}FeO42−​+2.2V​Fe3++0.70V​Fe2+−0.45V​Fe0

We need to find:

EFeO42−/Fe2+∘E^\circ_{\mathrm{FeO_4^{2-}/Fe^{2+}}}EFeO42−​/Fe2+∘​

  1. Write the relevant half-reactions

For ferrate to ferric:

FeO42−+8H++3e−→Fe3++4H2OE∘=2.20 V\mathrm{FeO_4^{2-} + 8H^+ + 3e^- \rightarrow Fe^{3+} + 4H_2O} \qquad E^\circ = 2.20\,VFeO42−​+8H++3e−→Fe3++4H2​OE∘=2.20V

For ferric to ferrous:

Fe3++e−→Fe2+E∘=0.70 V\mathrm{Fe^{3+} + e^- \rightarrow Fe^{2+}} \qquad E^\circ = 0.70\,VFe3++e−→Fe2+E∘=0.70V

We must combine these to get:

FeO42−+8H++4e−→Fe2++4H2O\mathrm{FeO_4^{2-} + 8H^+ + 4e^- \rightarrow Fe^{2+} + 4H_2O}FeO42−​+8H++4e−→Fe2++4H2​O

  1. Use ΔG∘=−nFE∘\Delta G^\circ = -nFE^\circΔG∘=−nFE∘

When combining half-reactions, Gibbs energies add:

ΔGnet∘=ΔG1∘+ΔG2∘\Delta G^\circ_{\text{net}} = \Delta G^\circ_1 + \Delta G^\circ_2ΔGnet∘​=ΔG1∘​+ΔG2∘​

So,

−nFEnet∘=−(3F)(2.20)−(1F)(0.70)-nFE^\circ_{\text{net}} = -(3F)(2.20) -(1F)(0.70)−nFEnet∘​=−(3F)(2.20)−(1F)(0.70)

For the net reaction, n=4n=4n=4. Therefore,

−4FEnet∘=−6.6F−0.7F-4F E^\circ_{\text{net}} = -6.6F -0.7F−4FEnet∘​=−6.6F−0.7F

4Enet∘=7.34E^\circ_{\text{net}} = 7.34Enet∘​=7.3

Enet∘=7.34=1.825 VE^\circ_{\text{net}} = \frac{7.3}{4} = 1.825\,VEnet∘​=47.3​=1.825V

  1. Match with the asked form

Given:

EFeO42−/Fe2+∘=x×10−3 VE^\circ_{\mathrm{FeO_4^{2-}/Fe^{2+}}} = x \times 10^{-3}\,VEFeO42−​/Fe2+∘​=x×10−3V

Since

1.825 V=1825×10−3 V1.825\,V = 1825 \times 10^{-3}\,V1.825V=1825×10−3V

we get

x=1825x = 1825x=1825

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 1825

This matches our derived value.
