An excess of liquid mercury is added to an acidified solution of 1.0 $$\times$$ 10-3 M Fe3+. It is found that 5% of Fe3+ remains at equilibrium at 25oC. Calculate $$E_{Hg_2^{2 + }|\,Hg}^o$$, assuming that only reaction that occurs is
2Hg + 2Fe3+ $$\to$$ $$Hg_2^{2+}$$ + 2Fe2+
(Given $$E_{F{e^{3 + }}|\,F{e^{2 + }}}^o$$ = 0.77 V)
