The pressure of

1

mol of an ideal gas increases linearly with its volume such that it is

2\,\text{atm}

1\,\text{L}

and

4\,\text{atm}

3\,\text{L}

. Calculate the work done by the gas during the expansion from

1\,\text{L}

3\,\text{L}

. (Take

1\,\text{atm\,L}=101.3\,\text{J}

.) (a)

810\,\text{J}

(b)

60.8\,\text{kJ}

(c)

608\,\text{J}

(d)

-608\,\text{J}
