Termochemistry

When you dissolve a substance in water and the temperature decreases, why is dH>o? When analysing the formulas when the temperature decreases:t2<t1---t2-t1<o---Q<o---dH<o.

dH > 0 for the dissolution process. At constant pressure -dQ = dH

I've never heard that at constant pressure in dissolution process -dQ = dH. That makes it clear. Thanks a lot.
