For the isothermal reversible expansion of an ideal gas from volume `V_(1)` to volume `V_(2)`, the work done is given by `w_(rev)="…................."` whereas for the irreversible expansion , it is given by `w_("irrev") = "…........."`.

Answer» `w_("rev") = -2.303 n RT log. (V_(2))/( V_(1)), w_("irrev") =-P( V_(2) -V_(1)) = - P DeltaV`
