Detailed Solution

Since 4.0g of a gas occupies 22.4 litres at NTP, so the molecular mass of the gas is
M=4.0 g mol-1
As the speed of the sound in the gas is

v=γRTM

where γ is the ratio of two specific heats, R is the universal gas constant and T is the temperature of the gas.

γ=Mv2RT

 Here, M=4.0 g mol-1=4.0×10-3 kg mol-1

v=952 ms-1,R=8.3JK-1 mol-1 and T=273 K (at NTP) 

  γ=4.0×10-3 kg mol-1952 ms-128.3JK-1 mol-1(273 K)=1.6

By definition, 

γ=CpCv  or  Cp=γCv=γRγ-1=1.6×8.30.6=22.13 JK-1 mol-1
