Fe2+(aq)+Ag+(aq)Fe3+(aq)Ag(s)

 Ecello=EA+/AgoEFe3+/Fe2+0=xVEFe3+/Fe2+o   ..........(i)

Now, for two half‐cells

(i)  Fe2++2eFe; EF2+/Feo=E1o=yV  ΔG2o=2FE1o

(ii) Fe3++3eFe; EFe3+/Feo=E2o=zV ΔG2o=3FE2o

So,  Fe3++eFe2+; EFe3+/Fe2+o=E3o=?

; ΔG3o=1×FE3o

Again,  ΔG3o=ΔG2oΔG1oFE3o=3FE2o(2FE1o)

E3o=2E1o3E2o3E3o=3E2o2E1oEF3+/Fe2+o=(3z2y)V

So, from equation (i)

Ecello=xV(3z2y)V=(x3z+2y)V
