Answer: 17258

  1. PAVA=200×2=400P_AV_A = 200 \times 2 = 400 and PBVB=100×4=400P_BV_B = 100 \times 4 = 400, so the process is isothermal.
  2. W=nRTln⁡V2V1=1×8.3×300×ln⁡2W = nRT\ln\frac{V_2}{V_1} = 1 \times 8.3 \times 300 \times \ln 2
  3. W=2490×0.6931=1725.8 J=17258×10−1 JW = 2490 \times 0.6931 = 1725.8\ \text{J} = 17258 \times 10^{-1}\ \text{J}
  4. So the answer is 17258.
