Answer:

The final volume
V2=1.3175L

Step-by-step explanation:

between work ( w), pressure ( P ) and volume ( V ) is the following:

w=−PΔV

where,

ΔV=V2−V1

It was stated that the gas is expanding, then the work is done by the system and it is of a negative value .

Note that work, should be expressed in 1L⋅atm=101.3J
