Calculating Work Done by Gas at Constant Pressure

[pizzamakeren]

Homework Statement

How much work has the gas done?

Relevant Equations

K = Kelvin / Kpa = Kelvin Pascal

A gas with a volume of 8m^3 with a temperature of 400K gets warmed up to 550K with a constant pressure of 200Kpa. How much work has the gas done to the environment?

I think i might need to use the ideal gas law for this which is:
( P * V / T = N * K ) Where V is volume, T is temperature and N is the amount of atoms. P is pressure and K is a constant 1,38 * 10^-23J * K

The answer is supposed to be given in Kj, but I am unsure to how I am supposed to go forward.

Are you familiar with the ideal gas law? Are you familiar with the equation for work in terms of pressure and volume change?

So when the gas expands, it does work, right? A quick Google search provides some good learning resources if your textbook is not seeming to help...
