1. Why does the dissolution of NH4NO3 happen if the ∆H is 28.1? I'm supposed to be detailed with an equation, and explaining spontaneity.

Does it happen because of the energy created from protonation?

2. And why is only a strong base able to make H3PO4 act as an acid after the 3rd acid dissociation?

Is it because it is electronically unfavorable?

1) at constant temperature and pressure what concept relates to sponaneity (depends on both entropy and enthalpy of process).

2)In terms of a base, how strong is PO4^2- compared to H2PO4^-1? What is the Arrehnius concept of an acid base neutralization in perspective of the conjugate acid/bases?
