Question

What is the standard cell potential for the following cell? Will the reaction be spontaneous?
3Cu(s) + 2Fe3+(aq) ↔ 3Cu2+(aq) + 2Fe(s)
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ↔ Cu(s) Eo = 0.340V
Fe3+(aq) + 3e- ↔ Fe(s) Eo = -0.040V

0.380 V; spontaneous

 

-0.380 V; non-spontaneous

 

-1.100 V; spontaneous

 

-1.140 V; non-spontaneous
