The transition from the ground state to the first rotational excited state in diatomic oxygen (O 2

Question:

The transition from the ground state to the first rotational excited state in diatomic oxygen (O2) requires 356μeV. At what temperature would the thermal energy kT be sufficient to set diatomic oxygen into rotation? Would you ever find diatomic oxygen exhibiting the specific heat of a monatomic gas at normal pressure?
