Answer»

`0.3 M`
`0.6 M`
`0.41 M`
`0.354 M`

Solution :`E_("cell")^(0) = 0-88-0.77 = 0.11 V `
`E=E^(0) + (0.0591)/(2) LOG ""([Fe^(+2)]^(2)[H_2O_2]^(1))/([Fe^(+3)]^(2) xx [OH^(-)]^(2)), 0.16 = 0.11 + (0.0591)/(2) log""[((Fe^(+2))^(2) xx (0.35)^(1))/((0.5)^(2) xx (10^(-1))^(2))]`
`[log""([Fe^(+2)]^(2) [0.35])/(0.25 xx 0.01) ] = (0.05 xx 2)/(0.0591) = log""[([Fe^(+2)]^(2)(0.35))/(0.00875)]=1.6920`
`([Fe^(+2)]^(2)(0.35))/(0.00875) = 50 , (Fe^(+2)) = SQRT((50 xx 0.000875)/(0.35)) = sqrt((0.04375)/(0.35)) = 0.35355 = 0.354M`
