Calculating the values of specific gas constant and specific heat capacities| Engineering Education

Book: Applied Thermodynamics by T.D Eastop & McConkey, Chapter # 02: Working Fluid Problem 2.7: The relative molecular mass of carbon dioxide, CO2, is 44. In an experiment the value of r for CO2 was found to be 1.3. Assuming that CO2 is a perfect gas, calculate the specific gas constant, R , and the specific heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume cp and cv.
