    Q = m c delta-T

    Q = 5275 J

    m = 50.0 g

    c = 0.50 J/(gC)

    5275 J = (50.0 g) (0.50 J/gC) [ delta-T ]

    211 degrees C = delta-T

    So the final temperature is 20C + 211C = 231C

    Let the unique warmth of glass be C J kg^-1.Okay^-1. Let the temperature reached via glass be T ok after gaining 5275 J heat. 5275 = zero.05 x C x (T-293) or T = 293 + (5275/zero.05)/C or temperature, t in deg C will take delivery of by t = 20 +(105.5x10^three)/C maximum worth of C will also be one thousand. So the temperature would upward push to at least 127 .5 degree Celsius
