$E_{FeO_4^{2 - }/F{e^{2 + }}}^\theta$ is $x \times {10^{ - 3}}$ V. The value of $x$ is _________
Answer (integer)
1825
Solution
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{FeO}_4^{2-} \stackrel{+2.2 \mathrm{~V}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} ~~~\Delta \mathrm{G}_1=-6.6 \mathrm{~F} \\\\
& \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \stackrel{+0.70 \mathrm{~V}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} ~~~\Delta \mathrm{G}_2=-0.7 \mathrm{~F}
\end{aligned}

Hence for<br/><br/>
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{FeO}_4^{2-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \Delta \mathrm{G} =-7.3 \mathrm{~F} \\\\
& =-\mathrm{nEF} \\\\
& \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{FeO}_4^{2-} / \mathrm{Fe}^{+2}}^0=\frac{-7.3 \mathrm{~F}}{-4 \mathrm{~F}}= 1.825, \mathrm{n}=4 \\\\
& =1825 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}
