You add some of the white crystals to a small test tube filled with water. The water in the test tube was initially at room temperature (25˚C). Once the crystals were added and the tube was stirred, the temperature of the solution decreased to about 15˚C and all of the crystals dissolved. what is the change in Gibbs free energy (∆G) for this process?
