A 5.00g-sample of KOH(s) at 25.0°C was added to 100.0g of H2O(l) at room temperature inside an insulated cup calorimeter, and the contents were stirred. After all the KOH(s) dissolved, the temperature of the solution had increased. Based on the information given, which of the following best justifies the claim that the dissolution of KOH(s) is a thermodynamically favorable process?
