Read the following passage for the evaluation of E^(@) when different number of electrons are involved. Consider addition of the following half reactions (1) Fe^(3+)(aq)+3e^(-)rarr Fe(s) E_(1)^(@)=0.45V (2) Fe(s)rarr Fe^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-) E_(2)^(@)=-0.04V (3) Fe^(3+)(aq)+e^(-)rarr Fe^(2+)(aq) E_(3)^(@)= ? Because half-reactions (1) and (2) contains a different number of electrons, the net reaction (3) is another half-reaction and E_(3)^(@) can't be obtained simply by adding E_(1)^(@) and E_(3)^(@) . The free - energy changes however, are additive because G is a state function : Delta G_(3)^(@)=Delta G_(1)^(@)+Delta G_(2)^(@) If number of electrons in the reacton are n_(1),n_(2) and n_(2) respectively, then standard electrode potential of reation (3) is
