Consider the reaction for the dissolution of ammonium nitrate:  `NH_(4)NO_(3)(s) rarr NH_(4)^(o+)(aq) +NO_(3)^(Theta) (aq)`  `DeltaH =+29.8 KJ mol^(-1), DeltaS = 108.0 J K^(-1) mol^(-1)`.  Calculate the change in entropy of the surroundings and predict whether the reaction is spontaneous or not at `25^(@)C`?
