Cell Reaction

\mathrm{H}_2+\mathrm{M}^{3+} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{M}^{+}

\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cell}}=\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\mathrm{o}}-\frac{2.303 \mathrm{RT}}{2 \mathrm{~F}} \log \frac{\left[\mathrm{M}^{+}\right]\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]^2}{\left[\mathrm{M}^{3+}\right]}
0.1115=0.2-\frac{0.059}{2} \log 10^{\mathrm{a}}
\frac{0.059}{2} \log 10^{\mathrm{a}}=0.0885
\mathrm{a}=3
