Solution

The correct option is D 5.4 kJ
Work done for an isothermal reversible expansion is given as:
w=2.303nRT logV2V1

Given : V1=10 L
V2=30 L
T=27oC = 27+273=300 K
so,
w=2×8.314 ×300×2.303 log3010
w=2×8.314 ×300×2.303 log 3
w=5481.3 J
Since the process is isothermal U=0,
From the first law of thermodynamics,
U=q+w
q=w
q=5481.3 J
q=5.4 kJ
