HELP Instant cold packs contain solid NH4NO3 and a separate pouch of

Instant cold packs contain solid NH4NO3 and a separate pouch of water. When the pack is squeezed, the pouch breaks and the solid dissolves in the water. The energy change dueto the dissolving process affects the aqueous solution: NH4NO3(s)NH4+(aq)+NO3(aq)H=25.7kJ Consider what happens when a cold pack containing 50.0gNH4NO3 and 125g water is squeezed. a) Is heat released or absorbed by the dissolving process? How do you know? b) How much heat (in kJ ) is released or absorbed by this dissolving process? c) What is the final temperature of the solution in the pack? (Assume mass =175g,csolution=4.18J/gC, initial temp =25.0C, and a well insulated system)
