Final answer:

To calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance, use the formula q = mcΔT, where q is the amount of heat transferred, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance, we use the formula:

q = mcΔT

Where:

q is the amount of heat transferred

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat of the substance

ΔT is the change in temperature

In this case, we know the mass of the glass ball is 55 g and the change in temperature is 16°C. We need the specific heat of glass to complete the calculation. Once we have that, we can plug in the values and calculate the heat required.

When an object gets heated by a temperature ΔT energy needed, E = mcΔT

Here mass of glass = 55 g =
55*10^(-3)kg

Change in temperature ΔT = 16^0C[/tex] = 16 K

Specific heat of glass = 0.84 J/gK = 840 J/kgK

Substituting we will get

E =
55*10^(-3)*840*16 = 739.2 J

So a heat of 739.2 J is required to raise the temperature of a 55 g glass ball by 16°C
