One very special method for performing work is to do so reversibly. A change of state occurs reversibly if the external pressure equals the gas pressure throughout the change of state. If the change of state occurs isothermally (at constant temperature), then the expression for reversible work on an ideal gas is: w= -nRTln(V2/V1) Suppose 3.00 mol of an ideal gas undergoes a reversible isothermal change of state at 310 K from 2.65 bar to 4.28 bar. What is w (in J) for this change of state? Round your answer to the ones place.

The work done for a reversible isothermal change of state of an ideal gas is:
w= - nRT ln(V2/V1)
n is the number of moles of the ideal gas
T is the temperature in K.
R = 8.314 J⋅K−1⋅mol−1.
V1 and V2 are the initial or final volumes of the ideal gas.
