To calculate the speed of sound in helium at STP, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the specific heat capacity from calories to Joules The specific heat capacity of helium at constant pressure (Cp) is given as 5.0 cal K^(-1) mol^(-1). We need to convert this into Joules. \[ Cp = 5.0 \, \text{cal K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1} \times 4.2 \, \text{J cal}^{-1} = 21 \, \text{J K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1} \] ...
