The standard reduction potentials at 298 K298\,\text{K} are: Fe3++e−→Fe2+E∘=+0.77 VFe^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+}\quad E^\circ = +0.77\,\text{V} I2+2e−→2I−E∘=+0.54 VI_{2} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow 2I^{-}\quad E^\circ = +0.54\,\text{V} Using these data, calculate ΔG∘\Delta G^\circ (in kJ mol−1\text{kJ mol}^{-1} of reaction) for the overall reaction 2 Fe3+(aq)+2 I−(aq)→2 Fe2+(aq)+I2(aq)2\,Fe^{3+}(aq) + 2\,I^{-}(aq) \rightarrow 2\,Fe^{2+}(aq) + I_{2}(aq). (The Faraday constant is 9.65×104 C mol−19.65 \times 10^4\,\text{C mol}^{-1}.)
