In the pot of tea the molecules would be moving faster than in the cooled cup of tea. As liquid is heated the atoms vibrate faster which increases the distance between them. When heat leaves a substance, the molecules vibrate slower and get closer.
The reaction given is:
4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP
The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.
The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.
Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.
And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:
Ga (0) - 3 e- ----> Ga (3+)
P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)
So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.
Answer: 3 electrons.
Organic: sugar
inorganic: salt
I think you forgot to give the choices along with your question. I am answering the question based on my research and knowledge. "Helium effuses 0.71 times faster than hydrogen" is the statement that <span>holds true when the molar mass of hydrogen is 2.0 grams and that of helium is 4.0 grams. I hope the answer has helped you.</span>
