Answer: The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.897J/g^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=5040 Joules

m= mass of substance = 86.8 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i

Final temperature of the water = T_f

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(64.7)^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

5040=86.8\times c\times 64.7^0C

c=0.897J/g^0C

The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.897J/g^0C

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

Why do you turn a C-terminal aminoacid's carboxyl group into an ester before reducing it to an alcohol? Why not just use LiAlH4
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Esters are both inorganic and organic acids .... Regarding the second question, it is believed that it is carried out in this way in order to recognize the C-terminal amino acid in a peptide within a protein

Explanation:

The explanation of this question is according to what was interpreted in the question, since it is considered that it is poorly written ...

What happens in this chemical reaction is that it first becomes an ester (organic or inorganic acid) so that it is later recognized in the complex peptide structure.

Matt has found a book on various marine zones. A picture illustrates a zone that shows diffused penetration of sunlight in water
Ugo [173]

Answer:

the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone

Explanation:

Marine zones are the divisions of the ocean. The ocean is divided into two basic parts; the pelagic or open ocean, and the benthic or sea floor.

The pelagic zone is further divided into five broad zones according to how far down sunlight penetrates and they are:

1) the epipelagic, euphotic, or sunlit zone: the top layer of the ocean where enough sunlight penetrates for plants to carry on photosynthesis.

2) the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone: a dim zone where some light penetrates, but not enough for plants to grow.

3) the bathypelagic, aphotic, or midnight zone: the deep ocean layer where no light penetrates.

4) the abyssal zone: the pitch-black bottom layer of the ocean; the water here is almost freezing and its pressure is immense.

5) the hadal zone: the waters found in the ocean's deepest trenches.
