    Answer : The value of work done by an ideal gas is, 37.9 J

    Explanation:

    Formula used:

    Expansion work = External pressure of gas * Volume of gas

    Expansion work = 1.50 atm * 0.25 L

    Expansion work = 0.375 L. atm

    Conversion used : (1 L. atm = 101.3 J)

    Expansion work = 0.375 * 101.3 = 37.9 J

    Therefore, the value of work done by an ideal gas is, 37.9 J
