1 mol of N2 gas in a volume of 300K and 2L undergoes an isothermal reversible expansion up to 20L final volume. In this case, calculate the work by assuming that the gas a) behaves ideally b) behaves in accordance with the van der Waals equation. Calculate the percent error in work when the ideal gas equation is used instead of the van der Waals equation.
