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.
I won't give the answer, but here's the process: You have the weight of the object (0.500 lbs), and you want to convert that into the number of kernels. You are given the fact that 1 pound = 16 oz, and 1 oz=28.3 grams. So it should be apparent that you need to convert pounds to ounces first and then convert ounces to grams. Now that you the grams, you can easily figure out how many kernels there are because .125 grams equals the weight of one kernel.

The chemical equation is
Cu(s) +4HNO3(aq) ⇒ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Answer:
12
Explanation:
In the right hand side of the equation, there are three compound which contains O2, which are;
Cu(NO3)2 , number of oxygen atoms =3*2 =6
2NO2, number of oxygen atoms = 2*2=4
2H2O, number of oxygen atoms =2*1=2
Total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of equation = 6+4+2 =12
