Two gram-moles of a gas are compressed isothermally at 273 K from `10 m^(3)` to `1m^(3)`. Calculate the work done during compression.

Explanation

To calculate the work done during the isothermal compression of a gas, we can use the formula for work done in an isothermal process:

\[ W = -nRT \ln\left(\frac{V_f}{V_i}\right) \]

Where:
- \( W \) = work done (in joules)
- \( n \) = number of moles of the gas
- \( R \) = universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
