Number of moles of ideal gas (n) = 1, Initial pressure `(P_(1))=10` atm, Final pressure `(P_(2))=1` atm
Constant absolute temp (T) = 300 K, Gas constant (R )= 2 cal/mol.
`therefore` Work done ofr isothermal reversible expansion of an ideal gas
`W=-2.303 “nRT log” (P_(1))/(P_(2))=-2.303xx1xx2xx300xx”log”_(10)(10)/(1)=-1381.8` calories
