Molar heat capacity $(C_p)$ of water at constant pressure is $75 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$. The increase in temperature (in $K$) of $100 \ g$ of water when $1 \ kJ$ of heat is supplied to it is

$A_{(g)} \to 2B_{(g)}$; $\Delta_rH = 20 \ kJ/mol$ at $300 \ K$. If $C_{p,m}(A) = 20 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ and $C_{p,m}(B) = 5 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,which of the following statements is correct?

$4.48 \ L$ of an ideal gas at $1 \ atm$ and $273 \ K$ requires $12 \ cal$ to raise the temperature by $15 \ ^\circ C$ at constant volume. The $C_p$ of the gas is $... \ cal \ mol^{-1} K^{-1}$.
