Solution

$M g (s) + 2 A g^{+} (0.001 M) \to M g^{+ 2} (0.130 M) + 2 A g (s)$
$T = 298 K$
$n = 2$
$E_{c e l l}^{o} = 3.17$
$E m f = E_{c e l l}^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} l o g \frac{[P]}{[R]}$
$E m f = 3.17 - \frac{0.0591}{2} l o g \frac{0.130}{0.001}$
$= 3.17 - \frac{0.0591}{2} (2.11)$
$= 3.17 - (0.0295) \times 2.11$
$= 3.17 - 0.0622$
$= 3.1078 V$
The EMF of the cell is $3.10 V$
