Answer:
increase
Explanation:
because in endothermic reaction heat is absorbed
Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.
Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.
The calculations could be shown as:

= 24 mol HBr
From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.
So we look equation for the free Gibbs free energy (ΔG) which depends on entalpy (ΔH), temperature (T) and entropy (ΔS):
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
ΔG is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a spontaneous process.
ΔH is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a exothermic process (it releases heat and if you want to desorb the water form the silica gen you need to add heat which is a endothermic process).
ΔS is negative (-) because the water is adsorbed, so from disorderly state you take the water molecules and put them in a orderly state and by doing that you decrease the entropy.
Since the atomic mass consists of protons and neutrons, that would be the answer.
