For the reaction $2 Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + 2 I^{-}_{(aq)} \rightarrow 2 Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + I_{2(s)}$,the magnitude of the standard molar free energy change,$\Delta_{r} G_{m}^{\circ} = -$ ........... $kJ$ (Round off to the Nearest Integer). $\left[ E_{Fe^{2+} / Fe_{(s)}}^{\circ} = -0.440 \ V; \ E_{Fe^{3+} / Fe_{(s)}}^{\circ} = -0.036 \ V; \ E_{I_{2} / 2I^{-}}^{\circ} = 0.539 \ V; \ F = 96500 \ C \ mol^{-1} \right]$

The value of the standard electrode potential for the oxidation of $Cl^{-}$ ions is more positive than that of water. Even then,in the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride,why is $Cl^{-}$ oxidized at the anode instead of water?
