To calculate the velocity of sound in oxygen under the given conditions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of Air Air is composed of 4 parts nitrogen (N₂) and 1 part oxygen (O₂). Therefore, the volume ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is 4:1. ### Step 2: Define the Volumes Let the volume of oxygen in air be \( V \). Then, the volume of nitrogen will be \( 4V \). ...
