Imagine a gas made up entirely of negatively charged electrons. Like charges repel, so the electrons exert repulsive forces on each other. Would you expect that the temperature of such a gas would rise, fall, or stay the same in a free expansion? Why?

Diatomic Gas

Molecule, is a collection of two or more atoms together (which constitute the smallest observable unit) into a pure material. There are some ways to represent the structure of a molecule. Factor symbols represent atoms in Lewis structures, and dots represent electrons that accompany them. A pair of mutual electrons (covalent bond) may be represented by a single dash. The ball-and-stick model depicts the spatial structure of the atoms better.

Question

Imagine a gas made up entirely of negatively charged electrons.
Like charges repel, so the electrons exert repulsive forces on each other.
Would you expect that the temperature of such a gas would rise, fall, or
stay the same in a free expansion? Why?

An insulated container contains two moles of an ideal gas at atmospheric pressure. Keeping the pressure constant, if the temperature of the gas is increased by 50 °C, then its volume increases by 400 cm3 and if the temperature is increased by 100 °C, then its volume increases by 600 cm³. Determine the initial volume and temperature of the gas. (Write the equation of ideal gas initially, after the temperature increase of 50 °C, and after increase of temperature by 100 °C. Combine these three equations to find the initial volume and temperature)

Long-distance balloon flights are usually made using a hot-airballoon/ helium-balloon hybrid. The balloon has a sealed, flexible chamber of helium gas that expands or contracts to keep the helium pressure approximately equal to the air pressure outside. The helium chamber sits on top of an open (that is, air can enter or leave), constant-volume chamber of propane-heated air. Assume that the hot air and the helium are kept at a constant temperature by burning propane. A balloon is launched at sea level, where the air pressure is 100 kPa. The helium has a volume of 1000 m3 at this altitude.
