$A$ gas expands from $3\, dm^3$ to $5.8\, dm^3$ against a constant external pressure of $3\, bar$. The work done during expansion is used to heat $2\, moles$ of water from $290\, K$ to a final temperature of $T\, K$. If the specific heat of water is $4.2\, J\, g^{-1}\, K^{-1}$,then $T = ......\, K$. (in $.6$)
