Which element is in Group 17 and has more than 50 protons but less than 75 protons?
1 answer:
Answer:
Iodine
Explanation:
Iodine is in group 17 on the periodic table (first picture attached). The second picture shows you in the top left-hand corner of Iodine's little square, there is the number 53. This is the atomic number, it is also the number of protons and electrons in an element.
Hope this helped :)

We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.
A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.
