We are given

s = 5.56 x 10^5

Eo = 0.354 V

We are asked how many electrons were involved in the redox reaction.

We use the Nernst Equation

Eo = s log [H+]

Subsituting

0.354 = 5.56 x 10^5 log [H+]

[H+] = 1 mole/L

Assuming that we have a 1 L volume, we have 1 mole of H + that participates in the reaction which means there is also 1 mole of electron that is involved in the reaction.
