Electrochemistry · Metal insoluble salt electrode potential

MX is a sparingly soluble salt that follows the given solubility equilibrium at 298 K

MX(s)⇌MX+(aq)+XX−(aq)\ce{MX(s) <=> M+(aq) + X^-(aq)}; Ksp=10−10K_\mathrm{sp} = 10^{-10}

If the standard reduction potential for

MX+(aq)→+ eX−M(s)\ce{M+(aq) ->[+e^-] M(s)} is (EM+/M⊖)=0.79\left(E^\ominus_{\mathrm{M^+/M}}\right) = 0.79 V, then the value of the standard reduction potential for the metal/metal insoluble salt electrode EX−/MX(s)/M⊖E^\ominus_{\mathrm{X^-/MX(s)/M}} is mV. (nearest integer)

[Given: 2.303RTF=0.059\dfrac{2.303RT}{F} = 0.059 V]
