question 8

Multiple Choice

Use the standard half-cell potentials listed below to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction occurring in an electrochemical cell at 25 °C.(The equation is balanced.)
$\quad$$\quad$ 3Cl₂(g) + 2Fe(s) → 6Cl^- (aq) + 2Fe³⁺(aq)
Cl₂(g) + 2 e^- → 2Cl^- (aq) $\quad$$\quad$ E° = +1.36 V
Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 e^- → Fe(s) $\quad$$\quad$ E° = -0.04 V
