Hi there!
Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.
In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.
The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.
The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.

Answer : The final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.


where,
= specific heat of iron = 560 J/(kg.K)
= specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg.K)
= mass of iron = 825 g
= mass of water = 40 g
= final temperature of water and iron = ?
= initial temperature of iron = 
= initial temperature of water = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


Therefore, the final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K
