A sample of gas in a sealed container (fixed volume) is heated from room temperature to 80.0°C.

Hello!

A) When the temperature inside the container increases, the pressure inside the container increases as well. 

An example for that is when you have an aerosol can and start heating it. The pressure of the gas inside the aerosol can will start to increase, and that would lead to the exploding of the can if heating is kept for too long. Bombs work on this principle too: The heat from the violent chemical reaction inside the closed compartment increase the pressure of the gases until the fragments are ejected at high velocities. 

B) The effect of temperature on the pressure of a gas illustrates Gay-Lussac's Law.

This law was formulated by the famous French chemist that gives it its name. It relates the expansion of a gas with the increase in temperature when the volume is left constant. The Gay-Lussac's Law can be expressed as follows, for the case of this exercise:

\frac{P1}{T1}= \frac{P2}{T2} \\ \\ P2= \frac{P1}{T1}*T2=P1* \frac{80 degC}{25degC}= P1*3,2

You can see that the factor that is multiplying P1 is higher than 1 for the case of heating from 25 °C to 80 °C, so the pressure will increase.

C) At a molecular level, when the temperature is raised the kinetic energy of the molecules inside the container will increase. This increase in the kinetic energy will cause the molecules to move faster, and to hit the walls of the container more often. This causes an increase in the pressure inside the container because there more hits means more force on the walls of the container, and that is the definition of pressure. 

Have a nice day!

Democritus was the first to propose the idea of the atom. He said the atom was just this tiny, solid sphere. However, he used no scientific evidence to support his claim, so a guy named John Dalton did some experimenting and basically backed up Democritus' claim with evidence. Then, a guy named J.J. Thompson came along and said the atom was not solid and that is consisted of tiny negatively charged particles(electrons) and he came up with the Plum Pudding model which is just a tiny sphere with a punch of random scattered dots in it. After that, Ernest Rutherford did experiments and found that the tiny sphere is made up of mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged sphere inside of it, and the negatively charged particles just randomly float around it. Neils Bohr then said that the electrons take specific, circular, evenly spaced paths. Then, finally, we come to the Quantum Mechanical Model which is the one accepted today. This model basically vetos Bohr's idea and has a nucleus inside of an electron cloud, which is where the electrons are found.

A lawnmower runs on gasoline.what type of energy transformation takes place in its engine?
Eva8 [605]
The gas is ignited (I think) and combustion happens where the gasoline turns into gas (the state of being) and expands, pushing something and making the blades turn so

from stationary to explosive so potentioal to kenetic

AlCl</span>₃ = <span>133.34 g/mol

</span><span>3 Li</span>₂<span>S + 2 AlCl</span>₃<span> = 6 LiCl + Al</span>₂S₃

3 * 45.947 g Li₂S ----------> 2 * <span>133.34 g AlCl</span>₃
1.084 g Li₂S ----------------> ?

Mass Li₂S = 1.084 * 2 * 133.34 / 3 * 45.947

Mass Li₂S = 289.08112 / 137.841

Mass Li₂S = 2.0972 g 

hope this helps!
