Answer:

First, we need to calculate the change in temperature:

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 85 °C - 35 °C

ΔT = 50 °C

Next, we can use the following formula to calculate the heat energy required:

Q = m·C·ΔT

where Q is the heat energy in calories, m is the mass of the sample in grams, C is the specific heat in cal/g °C, and ΔT is the change in temperature in °C.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Q = 35.0 g · 0.108 cal/g °C · 50 °C

Q = 189.0 calories

Therefore, 189.0 calories are required to raise the temperature of the sample from 35 °C to 85 °C
