1 Faraday = 96,495 C/mol
1 faraday = how much charge in a mol of electrons.
You gave the answer in C/mol, they want it in F
It goes from 3+ to 0 oxidation state. So there is a change of 3 electrons. You also used 2 moles so 2*3 = 6 electrons (or technically 6 mols of electrons).
6 faraday or (6 x 96485 c/mol) = 578,910 coulombs

The question asks how many faradays. Your answer of 579000 is in Coulombs
you forgot to convert.
1 faraday = 96500 coulombs
you forgot to convert.
1 faraday = 96500 coulombs
