The correct option is C -2 kJ
Maximum work is obtained when the process is reversible.
So, for a reversible isothermal process, the work done is given as,
w=−2.303 nRT log10(V2V1)
V1 = initial volume = 5 dm3
V2= final volume = 25 dm3
moles of gas =1632=0.5 mol
Substituting the values in the formula, we get,
w=−2.303×0.5×8.314×300 log 255=−2007.5J or approximately −2 kJ
