Consider the following electrode processes of a cell: $Cl^{-} \rightarrow \frac{1}{2} Cl_2 + e^{-}$ and $MCl + e^{-} \rightarrow M + Cl^{-}$. If the $EMF$ of this cell is $-1.140 \ V$ and the $E^{\circ}$ value of the cell is $-0.55 \ V$ at $298 \ K$,the value of the equilibrium constant $(K_{sp})$ of the sparingly soluble salt $MCl$ is in the order of:

  • A
    $10^{-10}$
  • B
    $10^{-8}$
  • C
    $10^{-7}$
  • D
