### Electrochemical Cell and Calculating Hydrogen Ion Concentration

For the cell shown, the measured cell potential, \(E_{\text{cell}}\), is \(-0.3657 \text{ V}\) at \(25 \degree \text{C}\).

**Cell Notation:**
\[ \text{Pt(s)} \mid \text{H}_2(\text{g}, 0.777 \, \text{atm}) \mid \text{H}^+(\text{aq}, \, ? \, \text{M}) \parallel \text{Cd}^{2+}(\text{aq}, 1.00 \, \text{M}) \mid \text{Cd(s)} \]

**Balanced Reduction Half-Reactions:**
\[ 2\text{H}^+ (\text{aq}) + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{H}_2 (\text{g}) \qquad E^\circ = 0.00 \, \text{V} \]
\[ \text{Cd}^{2+} (\text{aq}) + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Cd(s)} \qquad E^\circ = -0.403 \, \text{V} \]

**Problem Statement:**
Calculate the \(\text{H}^+\) concentration.

**Initial Answer Provided:**
\[ [\text{H}^+] = 0.23 \, \text{M} \]

**Feedback:**
Incorrect

#### Explanation:
Given the cell potential and standard reduction potentials, you may use the Nernst equation to find the concentration of \(\text{H}^+\). The answer provided was found to be incorrect, indicating a need for re-evaluation of the calculation process. Further steps involve adjusting calculations for accuracy.
