Use the standard half-cell potentials listed below to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction occurring
in an electrochemical cell at 25°C. (The equation is balanced.) 3 Cl2(g) + 2 Fe(s) → 6 Cl-(aq) + 2 Fe3+(aq) Cl2(g) + 2 e- → 2 Cl-(aq) E° = +1.36 V Fe3+(aq) + 3 e- → Fe(s) E° = -0.04 V

The problem applies Charles' law since constant pressure with varying volume and temperature are given. Assuming ideal gas law, the equation to be used is 
=
. We make sure the temperatures are expressed in Kelvin, hence the given added with 273. The volume 2 is equal to 25.2881 liters.
