**Electrochemical Cell Problem**

For the electrochemical cell:

\[ 2 \text{Al}(s) + 3 \text{Mn}^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2 \text{Al}^{3+}(aq) + 3 \text{Mn}(s) \]

- Given: 
  - Standard cell potential (\(E^\circ\)) = 0.48 V
  - Concentration of \([\text{Al}^{3+}]\) = 1.0 M
  - Concentration of \([\text{Mn}^{2+}]\) = 0.068 M
  - Temperature (T) = 298 K

**Objective:** 

Calculate the cell potential (E) under these conditions.

**Note:** No graphs or diagrams are included. The problem is textual and involves electrochemical calculations using the Nernst Equation.
