A certain metal, M, forms a soluble sulfate salt, MSO4. Suppose the left half-cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 175 mM solution of and the right half-cell with a 3.50 M solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them. The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 25.0 °C. What voltage will the voltmeter show?

Refer to the following standard reduction reactions when answering this question: Cr2O72−(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6e− → 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) E˚ = +1.33 V I2(s) + 2e− → 2 I−(aq) E˚ = +0.53 V For the cell: Pt(s) | I−(aq) | I2(s) || H+(aq), Cr2O72−(aq), Cr3+(aq) | Pt(s) at 298 K, the Ecell was measured to be 0.89 V. If [Cr2O72−] = 2.0 M, [H+] = 1.0 M; [ I−] = 1.0 M, then the [Cr3+] is closest to
