A 1.75 mole sample of Ar undergoes an isothermal reversible expansion from an initial volume of 2.00

Question:

A 1.75 mole sample of Ar undergoes an isothermal reversible expansion from an initial volume of 2.00 L to a final volume of 85.00 L at 310. K. Calculate the work done in this process using the ideal gas and van der Waals equations of state. What percentage of the work done by the van der Waals gas arises from the attractive potential?
