Calculate the amount of work done by 2 mole of an ideal gas at 298k in reversible isothermal expansion from 10 liter to 20 liter.
-3435 J
Amount of work done in reversible isothermal expansion can be given as:
w = −2.303nRT log(V2V1)
∴ w = −2.303 × 2 × 8.314 × 298 log(2010)
∴ w = −3435 J work done by the system
