Calculate work done when the gas expands isothermally


A sample of 5.00 g of methane occupies 14.5 dm3 at 310K. Calculate (a) the work done when the gas expands isothermally against a constant external pressure of 200 Torr until its volume has increased by 3.6 dm3, and (b) the work that would be done if the same expansion had occurred reversibly.
