(A) \(-0.057\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta {G^o}\, = \, - nF{E^o}\) \((i)\,F{e^{2 + }}\, + \,2{e^ - }\, \to \,Fe;\) \({E^o}\, = \, - 0.47\,\,V;\) \((ii)\,F{e^{3 + }}\, + \,{e^ - }\, \to \,F{e^{2 + }};\) \({E^o}\, = \, + 0.77\,\,V;\) \((iii)\,F{e^{3 + }}\, + \,3{e^ - }\, \to Fe\)…
