An ideal gas at pressure, volume, and temperature Po, Vo, and To, respectively, is heated to point A, allowed to expand to point B at 2To, and then returned to the original condition. The internal energy increases by 3PoVo/2 going from point To to point A. How much heat entered the gas from point To to point A?
