Increasing temperature can: -change the phase of matter -increase the number of protons -decrease the mass of matter -add neutrons to the nucleus of an atom

The answer would be A. You cannot decrease mass because of increasing temp so it can't be C and adding neutrons or protons would be changing the atom and therefore the element, and that is not possible through just an increase of temperature, so it can't be B or D. Hope this was helpful! ;)

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"
