Solution

The correct option is C 4 J
The molecular weight of oxygen M=32 g/mol
number of moles of the gas,
n=0.64 g32 g.mol1=0.02 mol
ΔT=3525=10C=10 K
since difference of temperature in celcius and kelvin yields same result.
The amount of heat (Q) is required at constant volume (because container's volume is fixed).
Q=nCVΔT
Q=0.02 mol×20 JK1mol1×10 K
Q=4 J
