Calculate the work done when an ideal gas expands isothermally and reversibly in a piston and cylinder assembly for expansion of a gas at 300 k from initial pressure 10 bar to final pressure 1 bar.

Explanation:

The expression for the work done is:

Where,

W is the amount of work done by the gas

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol

T is the temperature

P₁ is the initial pressure

P₂ is the final pressure

Given that:

T = 300 K

P₁ = 10 bar

P₂ = 1 bar

Applying in the equation as:

10 years is the answer
