    MX is a sparingly soluble salt that follows the given solubility equilibrium at 298 K
    MX(s)⇌M+(aq)+X−(aq);Ksp=10−10MX(s) \rightleftharpoons M^{+}(aq) + X^{-}(aq);K_{sp} = 10^{- 10}
    If the standard reduction potential for M+(aq)→+e− M(s)M^{+}(aq)\overset{+ e^{-}\ }{\rightarrow}M(s) is (EM+/M⊖)=0.79 V\left( E_{M^{+}/M}^{\ominus} \right) = 0.79\text{ }V, then the value of the standard reduction potential for the metal/metal insoluble salt electrode EX−/MX(s)/M⊖E_{X^{-}/MX(s)/M}^{\ominus} is ____\_\_\_\_ mV. (nearest integer) [Given: 2.303RTF=0.059 V\frac{2.303RT}{F} = 0.059\text{ }V ]
