An electrochemical cell consists of the following two redox couples, $M^{x+}(aq)/M(s)$ $[E^{\ominus}_{red} = +0.15 \text{ V}]$ and $Fe^{3+}(aq)/Fe(s)$ $[E^{\ominus}_{red} = -0.036 \text{ V}]$. The cell $EMF$ is recorded to be $0.2057 \text{ V}$. If the reaction quotient of the electrochemical reaction is found to be $10^{-2}$, then the value of $x$ is . . . . . . . (Nearest integer) [Given: $M$ is a $p$-block metal and $\frac{2.303RT}{F} = 0.059 \text{ V}$]
