It will get hotter, because the molecules create heat when they move around just like us when we run.
Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.
To solve this questions you first need to find the number of moles of barium phosphate you have. The molar mass of barium phosphate is 601.93g/mol.
24.4/601.83 = 0.0402 moles barium phosphate
Then you need to use avagadro’s number, 6.022 x 10^23, which is the number of molecules or formula units in a mole.
6.022 x 10^23 * 0.0402 = 2.42 x 10^22 formula units
