Enthalpy diagram for the dissolution of \(\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3(s)\).
Enthalpy diagram for the dissolution of \(\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3(s)\).
A student investigates the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water, as represented by the equation below.

\[\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3(s) \rightarrow \text{NH}_4^+(aq) + \text{NO}_3^-(aq)\]

When the solid dissolves in water inside an insulated calorimeter, the temperature of the water decreases. The reaction energy profile for this process is shown. Based on the diagram, which of the following correctly classifies the process and compares the total enthalpy of the products to that of the reactants?
