<span>the answer is c. energy</span>
You start by diving each quantity given by the atomic wight of each element:
Phosphorus (P) 
Hydrogen (H) 
Then you divide by the lowest number:
for phosphorus
for hydrogen
So the empirical formula will be:

6.4mole•64.06g/1mole=409.98g
The chemical change would occur faster in Beaker X due to the fact that the contents are warmer.
Burning wood because heat indicates a chemical change
