Alright sorry you're getting the answer hours later, but i can help with this.
so you're looking for specific heat, the equation for it is <span>macaΔTa = - mbcbΔTb with object a and object b. that's mass of a times specific heat of a times final minus initial temperature of a equals -(mass of b times specific heat of b times final minus initial temperature of b)
</span>so putting in your values is, 755g * ca * (75 celsius - 84.5 celsius) = -(50g * cb * (75 celsius - 5 celsius))
well we know the specific heat of water is always 4180J/kg celsius, so put that in for cb
with a bit of simplification to the equation by doing everything on each side first you have, -7172.5 * ca = -14630000
divide both sides by -7172.5 so you can single out ca and you get, ca= 2039.74
add units for specific heat which are J/kg celsius and the specific heat of the material is 2039.74 J/kg celsius

Tantalum is an element with an atomic number of 63 and its electronic configuration is:
[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d³ 6s²
1.06g
Please refer to the image attached.
You first find the number of moles (n) for KClO3 as you have been given the mass. So n = mass/Mr gives you the moles that is 0.022 mol
Next you use the ratio 2:3 as per the equation where it's 2KClO3 ---> 3O2 so you just cross multiply and get the moles for oxygen.
Now that you know the number of moles for oxygen, you can use the same moles equation that you used earlier to find the mass. mass=n×Mr and so you get the answer as 1.06g of oxygen.
