0.910 mol of an ideal gas, at 46.21 \deg C, is expanded isothermally from 4.64 L to 15.54 L. How much work is done on the gas, (in J), if the expansion is carried out in two steps by changing the volume irreversibly from 4.64 L to 15.54 Lagainst a constant pressure followed by allowing the pressure to reach its final value while the volume is held constant?
