During a calorimetry experiment, 5.0 g of solid urea was added to 100.0 g of water at 25.0 °C. The temperature of the solution decreased to 20.8 °C after the urea completely dissolved. Identify whether the dissolution of urea is exothermic or endothermic and briefly explain how the temperature data support your answer.
