Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of $10 \ atm$ expands isothermally at $25^{\circ}C$ into a vacuum until its total volume is $10 \ litres$. How much heat is absorbed and how much work is done in the expansion?

  • A
    $q = 0, w = 0$
  • B
    $q = 80 \ L \ atm, w = -80 \ L \ atm$
  • C
    $q = -80 \ L \ atm, w = 80 \ L \ atm$
  • D
    $q = 0, w = 80 \ L \ atm$
