Hydrophobic Solvation: Aqueous Methane Solutions
Abstract
The solvation of methane in water will be used to discuss hydrophobic solvation effects. A phenomenological thermodynamical analysis of solvation provides a variant of Henry's law, which will be used to examine the connections between the excess chemical potential of solvation μ ex and the density of the solvent ρ H 2 O .
