The heat capacity ratio of a gas determines the speed of sound in it through the formula cs = (γRT/M)1/2, where γ = Cp,m/CV,m and M is the molar mass of the gas. Deduce an expression for the speed of sound in a perfect gas of (a) diatomic, (b) linear triatomic, (c) nonlinear triatomic molecules at high temperatures (with translation and rotation active). Estimate the speed of sound in air at 25 °C. Hint: Note that Cp,m − CV,m = R for a perfect gas.
