Five moles of an ideal gas at 1 bar and 298k is expanded

Question:

Five moles of an ideal gas at 1 bar and $298 \mathrm{~K}$ is expanded into vacuum to double the volume. The work done is :-

  1. $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}\left(\mathrm{T}_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{1}\right)$

  2. $-\mathrm{RT} \ln \mathrm{V}_{2} / \mathrm{V}_{1}$

  3. $-\mathrm{RT}\left(\mathrm{V}_{2}-\mathrm{V}_{1}\right)$

  4. zero


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

As the expansion is done in vaccum that is in absence of $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{ext}}$ so

$\mathbf{W}=$ zero
