The correct representation of Nernst's equation for the reduction of a metal ion $M^{n+}$ to metal $M$ is:

For an electrochemical cell
$Sn_{(s)} | Sn^{2+}(aq, 1 \ M) || Pb^{2+}(aq, 1 \ M) | Pb_{(s)}$
the ratio $\frac{[Sn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$ when this cell attains equilibrium is
(Given $E^{0}_{Sn^{2+}/Sn} = -0.14 \ V$,$E^{0}_{Pb^{2+}/Pb} = -0.13 \ V$,$\frac{2.303 \ RT}{F} = 0.06$)

Find the $emf$ of the cell in which the following reaction takes place at $298 \ K$ (in $V$):
$Ni_{(s)} + 2Ag^{+}(0.001 \ M) \rightarrow Ni^{2+}(0.001 \ M) + 2Ag_{(s)}$
(Given that $E_{cell}^{\circ} = 10.5 \ V$,$\frac{2.303 RT}{F} = 0.059$ at $298 \ K$)

At $298 \ K$, the $emf$ of the cell is ............ $V$.
