Given the electrode potentials:
$Fe^{3+} + e^- \to Fe^{2+}; E^o = 0.771 \ V$
$I_2 + 2e^- \to 2I^{-}; E^o = 0.536 \ V$
The $E^o_{\text{cell}}$ for the cell reaction $2Fe^{3+} + 2I^{-} \to 2Fe^{2+} + I_2$ is:

  • A
    $(2 \times 0.771 - 0.536) = 1.006 \ V$
  • B
    $(0.771 - 0.5 \times 0.536) = 0.503 \ V$
  • C
    $(0.771 - 0.536) = 0.235 \ V$
  • D
    $(0.536 - 0.771) = -0.235 \ V$
