\(4.0~\text{gm}\) of gas occupies \(22.4~\text{litres}\) at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at a constant volume is  \(5.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}.\) If the speed of sound in the gas at NTP is \(952~\text{ms}^{-1},\) then the molar heat capacity at constant pressure will be:
(\(R=8.31~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)

1. \(8.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)  2. \(7.5~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)
3. \(7.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\) 4. \(8.5~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\)
