In your adventure across pulau seribu you are stranded
in one of the islands. The cell phone was out of range and the only
communication was radio’s boat. The battery happened to be dead.
You have to construct 1.5 Volt voltaic cells to be use
as substitutes for radio’s dead batteries. The materials available
were as follow (Assume that coconuts make great beakers and that
seawater is a terrific electrolyte!)
Metal/Metal ion E lead/lead(II) (fishing weights) –0.126
iron/iron(II) (the anchor) –0.44
silver/silver(I) (Lady’s brooch) –0.799
aluminum/aluminum(III) (the boat’s flagpole) –1.677

In one episode of the 1960s television sitcom, Gilligan’s Island, the famous “professor” constructed voltaic cells to use as substitutes for their radio’s dead batteries. A single D-cell has an emf of 1.5 V. Which scraps of metal from their damaged boat, the Minnow, could best be used to create a 1.5 V voltaic cell? Assume that coconuts make great beakers and that seawater is a terrific electrolyte. E° Iron/iron(II) (the anchor) -0.44 V Lead/lead(II) (fishing weights) -0.126...
