You are shown a voltaic cell in which the cathode is Cu and the anode is an unknown metal, X. You measure E°(cell) to be 3.23 V. The cell reaction is X(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → X²⁺(aq) + Cu(s) The standard reduction potential for the half-cell Cu²⁺(aq)/Cu(s) is +0.34 V. Salts of both metals are in their standard states of 1.00 M concentration. Calculate the standard reduction potential of the metal X.
