The formula you will use for isothermic expansion is:
Work(W) = 2.303 RT log(V2/V1)
Let R = 8.3 J / mole-K (universal gas constant and V2/v1 = 2/1 = 2.
Converting temperature to Kelvins:
T = 127°C = 400K
Work(W) = (2.3)(8.3)(400)log(2)
W = 2.3 x 10^3 J
To find the heat absorbed:
2.3 x 10^3 J/4.2 = 548 cal.
