Step 1: Identify the given values and the formula to use. The problem involves heat transfer at constant volume, so we use the formula for heat transfer in an ideal gas: , where is the heat energy transferred, is the number of moles of gas, is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and is the temperature change.
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of oxygen gas. Use the molar mass of oxygen, which is approximately 32 g/mol. The number of moles is given by , where is the mass of the gas (1.0 g) and is the molar mass.
Step 3: Determine the molar heat capacity at constant volume, . For diatomic gases like oxygen, is approximately , where is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K)).
Step 4: Rearrange the heat transfer formula to solve for the temperature change: . Substitute the values of , , and into the equation.
Step 5: Perform the calculation to find . This will give the increase in temperature of the gas in Kelvin. Ensure the units are consistent throughout the calculation.

Concetti chiave
Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Ideal Gas Law
The Ideal Gas Law relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas through the equation PV = nRT. This law is fundamental in understanding how gases behave under various conditions, particularly when analyzing changes in temperature and pressure while keeping volume constant.

Heat Transfer and Internal Energy
Heat transfer refers to the energy exchanged between a system and its surroundings due to a temperature difference. In the context of gases, when heat is added at constant volume, it increases the internal energy of the gas, which is directly related to its temperature, as described by the first law of thermodynamics.

Overview of Heat Transfer
Specific Heat Capacity
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. For gases, this concept is crucial when calculating temperature changes resulting from heat transfer, as it determines how much the temperature will increase based on the amount of heat added.
