Derive a balanced equation for the reaction occurring in the cell: (a) If E cell = 1.21

Question:

Derive a balanced equation for the reaction occurring in the cell: 

2+ 3+ Fe(s) Fe+ (aq)| Fe+ (aq), Fe+ (aq) Pt(s)

(a) If E°cell = 1.21 V, calculate ΔrG° and the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

(b) Use the Nernst equation to determine the potential for the cell:

x 10-3 M)||Fe+ (aq, 1.0  10- M), Fe2+ (aq, 0.10 M) |Pt(s) Fe(s) Fe+ (aq, 1.0  (aq, 1.0

(c) In light of (a) and (b), what is the likelihood of being able to observe the disproportionation of Fe2+ into Fe3+ and Fe under standard conditions?
