Abstract
The effect of structural changes in the solvent on the solubility of slightly soluble molecules, and on the hydrophobic interaction is examined within the framework of classical statistical mechanics. The most important conclusion is that structural changes in the solvent, induced either by the process of solution or by the hydrophobic interaction cannot affect the standard free energy changes of these processes. On the other hand, the entropy and the enthalpy changes associated with these processes may well be affected. This work has application to biochemistry.
