Answer: Protons
WHY?
Changing electrons will only result in the same element having different charges and hence, changing it's chemical properties.
Changing neutrons will not change an element but it will result in an isotope forming instead. (Isotopes are elements of the same type with different neutron numbers.)
However, changing the proton number would immediately change the nucleus composition, resulting in a change in element with a negative charge as there are more electrons than protons. This results in a expansion in valance electrons's distance from the nucleus. This results in a change in chemical properties of the element.
Therefore, a change in Protons is the answer.

Answer:
The total mass of the solution = 99.7 g
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:
<em>A "coffee-cup" calorimetry experiment is run for the dissolution of 2.5 g of lithium nitrate placed into 97.2 mL of water. The temperature of the solution is initially at 23.5oC. After the reaction takes place, the temperature of the solution is 28.3 oC. </em>
<em>1. Using a density of 1.0 g/mL for the water added and adding in the mass of the lithium nitrate, what is the total mass of the solution and solid?</em>
Explanation:
mass = density * volume
density of water = 1.0 g/mL; volume of water = 97.2 mL
mass of water = 1.0 g/L * 97.2 mL
mass of water = 97.2 g
mass of lithium nitrate = 2.5 g
A solution is made by dissolving a solute (usually solid) in a solvent (usually a liquid). The solute in this reaction is lithium nitrate and the solvent is water.
Total mass of solution = mass of water + mass of lithium nitrate
Total mass of solution = 97.2 g + 2.5 g = 99.7 g
Therefore, total mass of the solution = 99.7 g
