First, form a ratio by using equation 16.5 twice. Then, solve for the temperature of the helium gas. Be careful with the units of temperature. At what temperature is the speed of sound in helium (ideal gas, y = 1.67, atomic mass = 4.003 u) the same as its speed in oxygen gas at 4.76 °C? The speed of sound in oxygen at 4.76°C is 317 m/s.
