a 1 mole of an ideal gas is kept at 0°C during expansion from 30l to 10l .How much work is done on the gas during expansion

20 J

Explanation:

Work done is given force by distance .

W= F * d  where F is force given by the product of pressure and area

W= P* Δv  where Δv  is change in volume.

Given that ;

1 mole of an ideal gas is kept at 0°C, the pressure of the gas is : 1 atm.

Δv  is change in volume , 30 l - 10l = 20 l

W= 1 * 20 = 20 J

magnityde and direction

it is the second option.
