2 mole of an ideal gas at 2atm and 300K is compressed at isothermal to one-half of its volume by a constant external pressure of 4 atm.calculate q, w,and ∆E?
(R=0.082 atm lit/mol cal)

n= 2
V1 = V
V2 = V/2
T = 300


For an isothermal process

W = nRT ln[ V2/V1]
    = 2 * 0.082 * 300 ln [1/2]
     = 33.948 J
in an isothermal process since temprature is constant
thus

U = 0

And thus 

Q= - W
   = - 33.948
