Question
Why does NH4NO3 dissolve in water spontaneously even when this process is endothermic?

Answer

NH4NO3 dissolves in water spontaneously even when this process is endothermic because entropy increasing due to free movement of ions on dissolving. $\Delta\text{S}=+\text{ve}$ favours the process and makes it spontaneous.
