Answer

$ W= 1.25 kJ $ . The positive sign indicates that the gas is expanding.

Work Step by Step

The work done for adiabatic process in step $2 \rightarrow 3 $ Since the gas is an ideal gas, according to the 'first law of thermodynamics'. $\Delta E_{int} = Q - W$ when Q = 0 in adiabatic, $ W= -\Delta E_{int} $ Taking $\Delta E_{int} $ from (h) $ W= 1.25 kJ $. The positive sign indicates that the gas is expanding.
