Fe+2A+Ag+C→Fe3++Ag
Ecello=SRP of cathode −SRP of anode
=EAg+∣Ago−EFe+3∣Fe+2o
=x−EFe3+∣Fe+2o
Since E∘ cell is an intensive property, the E∘ cell values are not additive by nature. But the standard Gibbs free energy change is an extensive property and hence can be added.
(i) Fe+3→Fe+3e−→Z=E1o;ΔG1=−3×F×z
(ii) Fe+2→Fe+2e− Y=E2o; ΔG2=−2×F×y
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
Fe+3→Fe+2 ΔG3=ΔG1−ΔG2
(Eo=−2y+3z)
Ecello=x−(−2y+3z)
=x+2y−3z
