6 litres of an ideal gas expands isothermally at a temperature of 300 Kelvin up to 10 litres at a pressure of 5 atm, what is the work done? Correct Answer 20 Newton metre

The expression for work done is given by pressure x volume difference, here an ideal gas has a volume difference of 4 litres at 5 ATM pressure. So the work done = 10 – 6 liters x 5atm = 20 Newton metre.
