2.51 A tank contains 20 L of compressed nitrogen at 10 bar and 25 °C. Calculate the maximum work that can be obtained when the gas is allowed to expand

reversibly to 1 bar pressure(a) isothermally and (b) adiabatically. The heat capacity of nitrogen at constant volume can be taken to be 20.8 J K mol^-1 independent of temperature.
