Is this dissolving process endothermic or exothermic?

It is endothermic. It takes energy to make chemical bonds (what changes the substance from liquid to solid). So when the liquid solidifies (changes from liquid to solid), it is taking energy from the reaction. If it were melting from a solid to a liquid, then it would be exothermic because energy is released when bonds are broken.
