Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!
Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!

"Work done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force" -textbook
There is work done ONLY if the direction of the force and the direction the item is moving are the same. In figure A, the direction of the force (the lifting) is upwards (defying gravity), and the book is moving upwards, so work is done. In figure B, the force is still moving upwards (the person is carrying the books) but the book is moving to the right, so there is NO work done.
The amount of the solute is constant during dilution. So the mole number of HCl is 2*1.5=3 mole. The volume of HCl stock is 3/12=0.25 L. So using 0.25 L stock solution and dilute to 2.0 L.
