Solution

The correct option is C 1573 J
Since 1 mole of an Ideal gas at 1 atmosphere was taken and since initial volume was 22.4dm3, the temperature must be 273 K. (Molar volume of an ideal gas at STP is 22.4dm3) W=2.303nRTlog(V2V1)=2.303nRTlog(11.2×10322.4×103)=2.303nRTlog(0.5)=2.303×1mol×8.314J/K/mol×273K×(0.3010)W=+1573J
