The correct answer is:
Heat is negative
Work done in isothermal reversible process is
$w=-2.303 n R T \log _{10} \frac{p_1}{p_2}$
Given,
$\begin{aligned} n & =1, R=2 \mathrm{cal} \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ T & =(27+273) \mathrm{K}=300 \mathrm{~K} \\ p_1 & =2 \mathrm{~atm}, p_2=10 \mathrm{~atm}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad w & =-2.303 \times 1 \times 2 \times 300 \log _{10} \frac{2}{10} \\ w & =+965.54 \mathrm{cal}\end{aligned}$
For isothermal change, $\Delta U=0$
Now, from first law of thermodynamics,
$\begin{aligned} & q=\Delta U-W=0-965.84 \mathrm{cal} \\ & q=-965.84 \mathrm{cal}\end{aligned}$
$w=-2.303 n R T \log _{10} \frac{p_1}{p_2}$
Given,
$\begin{aligned} n & =1, R=2 \mathrm{cal} \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ T & =(27+273) \mathrm{K}=300 \mathrm{~K} \\ p_1 & =2 \mathrm{~atm}, p_2=10 \mathrm{~atm}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad w & =-2.303 \times 1 \times 2 \times 300 \log _{10} \frac{2}{10} \\ w & =+965.54 \mathrm{cal}\end{aligned}$
For isothermal change, $\Delta U=0$
Now, from first law of thermodynamics,
$\begin{aligned} & q=\Delta U-W=0-965.84 \mathrm{cal} \\ & q=-965.84 \mathrm{cal}\end{aligned}$
