A demonstration of the endothermic nature of the dissolving process for Ammonium Nitrate. *Note - This and all demonstrations should only be performed by qualified personnel. Proper safety precautions should be observed at all times.*
The dissociation of the ammonium and the nitrate ions from each other is the endothermic process; it is obtaining this energy from the surrounding system (the water) and hence when you measure the temperature of the aqueous solution, the temperature of the solution goes down

Shouldn't an endothermic process absorb heat and therefore rise in temperature?
