Nitrogen gas (molecular weight $$28$$) is enclosed in a cylinder by a piston, at the initial condition of $$2$$ bar, $$298$$ $$K$$ and $$1\,\,{m^3}$$. In a particular process, the gas slowly expands under isothermal condition, until the volume becomes $$2{m^3}.$$ Heat exchange occurs with the atmosphere at $$298$$ $$K$$ during this process.

The work interaction for the Nitrogen gas is
