Electrochemistry · Nernst equation

An electrochemical cell consists of the following two redox couples,

Mx+\mathrm{M}^{x+}(aq)/M(s) [Ered⊖=+0.15E^\ominus_\mathrm{red} = +0.15 V] and

FeX3+\ce{Fe^3+}(aq)/Fe(s) [Ered⊖=−0.036E^\ominus_\mathrm{red} = -0.036 V]

The cell EMF (EcellE_\mathrm{cell}) is recorded to be 0.2057 V.

If the reaction quotient of the electrochemical reaction is found to be 10−210^{-2}, then the value of x is (Nearest integer)

[Given : M is a p-block metal and 2.303RTF=0.059\dfrac{2.303RT}{F} = 0.059 V]
