Given: $E^o_{Al^{+3}/Al} = -1.66 \ V$ and $E^o_{Fe^{+2}/Fe} = -0.44 \ V$.

Consider the following half-cell reaction: $Cr_2O_7^{2-}{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 14H^{+}{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}{_{\text{(aq)}}} + 7H_2O_{\text{(l)}}$. The reaction was conducted with the ratio $\frac{[Cr^{3+}]^2}{[Cr_2O_7^{2-}]} = 10^{-6}$. The $pH$ value at which the $EMF$ of the half-cell will become zero is $............$ (nearest integer value). [Given: standard half-cell reduction potential $E^{o}_{Cr_2O_7^{2-}, H^{+} / Cr^{3+}} = 1.33 \ V$,$\frac{2.303 RT}{F} = 0.059 \ V$]
