Solution

The formation of solutions where the process is endothermic can be spontaneous provided that dissolving is accompanied by an increase in entropy.

This is because, according to the second law of thermodynamics, processes that lead to an increase in the entropy of the universe are spontaneous. In an endothermic process, the system absorbs heat from the surroundings, which decreases the system's entropy. However, if the process leads to an increase in the entropy of the system (like dissolving), it can compensate for the decrease in entropy due to heat absorption, making the overall process spontaneous.
