The correct answer is: 720

To calculate the work done, we neet to know the final temperature.

T1=300 K,  P1=1atm,  n=2mole,  P2=2  atm,  V1=nRT1P1

w=ΔY=nCvT2T1=P2V2V1

For a monatomic gas, Cv=32R

    32nRT2T1=P2V2V1

32nRT2T1=P2nRT2P2nRT1P1

32T2T1=T2+P2P1T2=23P2P1+32T1

T2=0.42+1.5300=420 K

Work done, W=nCvΔΤ=2×32R×420300

  W=2×32×2×120=720cal
