Answer: [tex]-5013.65\ J[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
No of moles [tex]n=3[/tex]
Temperature [tex]T=290\ K[/tex]
Initial volume [tex]V_1=2\ m^3[/tex]
Final volume [tex]V_2=1\ m^3[/tex]
Work done in constant temperature process is
[tex]W=nRT\ln \left(\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\right)[/tex]
Insert the values
[tex]\Rightarrow W=3\times 8.314\times 290\ln \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\\Rightarrow W=-870\times 8.314\times \ln (2)\\\Rightarrow W=-5013.65\ J[/tex]
