Answer:
Nickel and Titanium
Explanation:
Nitinol is an alloy of Nickel and Titanium. It posesses two properties such that,
- The shape memory effect
- Super elasticity
Shape memory is the ability of nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, stay in its deformed shape when the external force is removed.
Superelasticity is the ability for the metal to undergo large deformations and immediately return to its undeformed shape upon removal of the external load.
Hence, the correct option is (b) "Nickel and Titanium".
Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction
Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative, the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .
So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:
Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V = 5.06 V
Equally valid is to write the equation as:
Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species
These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
