Five moles of an ideal gas has pressure $p_0$,volume $V_0$,and temperature $T_0$. The gas is expanded to volume $3V_0$ along a path such that the pressure $p$ changes as a function of volume $V$ as $p = p_0(V/V_0)$. The pressure is then reduced to $p_0$ while maintaining constant volume. Finally,the gas undergoes an isobaric compression until the volume and temperature return to $V_0$ and $T_0$,respectively. The total work done by the gas during the entire process is:

  • A
    $p_0 V_0 / 3$
  • B
    $3 p_0 V_0$
  • C
    $5 p_0 V_0 / 3$
  • D
    $2 p_0 V_0$
