A student dissolves a sample of solid ammonium nitrate, \(\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3\text{(s)}\), in distilled water at \(298\text{ K}\) according to the equation below.

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

As the solid dissolves, the temperature of the mixture decreases from \(25.0^\circ\text{C}\) to \(18.4^\circ\text{C}\). Which of the following correctly identifies the signs of \(\Delta H_{\text{soln}}^\circ\) and \(\Delta S_{\text{soln}}^\circ\), and predicts the effect of increasing temperature on the solubility of \(\text{NH}_4\text{NO}_3\text{(s)}\)?
