Fe? ³ + e? → Fe? ² E° = 0.77V
Zn (s) → Zn? ² + 2e? ; E° = 0.76V
Cell reaction: 2Fe? ³ + Zn → 2Fe? ² + Zn? ² E°cell = 1.53V
Ecell = E°cell - (0.059/2)log ( [Zn? ²] [Fe? ²]²/ [Fe? ³]²)
1.5 = 1.53 - (0.06/2)log (1 * [Fe? ²]²/ [Fe? ³]²)
-0.03 = -0.03 log ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])²
1 = log ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])² => [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³] = 10
Let total iron = T. [Fe? ³] + [Fe? ²] = T. [Fe? ³] + 10 [Fe? ³] = T. 11 [Fe? ³] = T.
fraction of Fe? ³ = [Fe? ³]/T = 1/11 ≈ 0.09
This solution seems to differ from the image. Let's follow the image's steps.
log ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])² = 1 => ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])² = 10
[Fe? ²]/ [Fe?

  E o C e l l = E o A g + / A g E o Z n + 2 / Z n = 0 . 8 + 0 . 7 6 = 1 . 5 6 V

Anode :      Z n ( s ) Z n 2 + ( a q ) + 2 e

Cathode :  2Ag+(aq) + 2e- ® 2Ag(s)

Zn(s) + 2Ag+(aq) ® Zn2+ (aq) + 2Ag(s)

E c e l l = E o C e l l 0 . 0 5 9 1 n l o g [ Z n 2 + ] [ A g + ] 2 = 1 . 5 6 0 . 0 5 9 1 2 l o g ( 0 . 1 1 0 4 )

M n O 4 + 8 H + + 5 e M n 2 + + 4 H 2 O

E 1 = E 0 0 . 0 5 9 5 l o g [ M n 2 + ] [ M n O 4 ] [ 1 H + ] 8  

[H+] = 1M

E 2 = E 0 0 . 0 5 9 5 l o g [ M n 2 + ] [ M n O 4 ] + 0 . 0 5 9 5 l o g 1 0 3 2   

So, difference in E1 & E2 is

= 0.3776 V

= 3776 * 10-4 V
