4.0 gm of gas occupies 22.4 litres at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at a constant volume is  5.0 JK1mol1. If the speed of sound in the gas at NTP is 952 ms1, then the molar heat capacity at constant pressure will be:
(R=8.31 JK1mol1

1. 8.0 JK1mol1  2. 7.5 JK1mol1
3. 7.0 JK1mol1 4. 8.5 JK1mol1
