What is the standard reducing potential `(E^(@))` for `Fe^(3+)to Fe`?
(Given that `Fe^(2+)+2e^(-)rightarrowFe,` `E_(Fe^(2+)//Fe^(@)) =-0.47V`
`Fe^(3+) + e^(-)to Fe^(2+)`, `E_(Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+))^(@)= +0.77V`

A

`(+0.057V)`

B

`(+0.30V)`

C

`(-0.30V)`

D

`(-0.057V)`

To find the standard reducing potential \( E^\circ \) for the reaction \( Fe^{3+} \rightarrow Fe \), we can utilize the given half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions**: We have the following half-reactions: - \( Fe^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Fe \) with \( E^\circ = -0.47 \, V \) - \( Fe^{3+} + e^- \rightarrow Fe^{2+} \) with \( E^\circ = +0.77 \, V \) ...
