What is the potential (volts, V) of the spontaneous galvanic cell under the conditions outlined below? Report your answer to the thousandths place and do not include units. If your answer is negative, you must include the negative sign without spaces.

2 M(s) + 3 X2(s) → 2 M3+(aq) + 6 X-(aq)

The concentration of M3+ = 0.0052 M

The concentration of X- = 0.055 M

M3+(aq) + 3 e- → M(s) E° = -1.87
X2(s) + 2e- → 2 X-(aq) E° = 0.676
