    Answer:

    Q = 976.5 J.

    Explanation:

    Hello there!

    In this case, according to the thermodynamic definition of the heat in terms mass, specific heat and temperature change, we can write:

    Q=mC(T_2-T_1)

    Thus, by plugging in the given data, we obtain:

    Q=35.0g*0.900\frac{J}{g\°C} (52\°C-21\°C)\\\\Q=976.5J
