摘要
An explanation is provided for the experimentally observed temperature dependence of the solubility and the solubility minimum of non-polar gases in water. The influence of solute size and solute-water attractive interactions on the solubility minimum temperature is investigated. The transfer of a non-polar solute from the ideal gas into water is divided into two steps: formation of a cavity in water with the size and shape of the solute and insertion of the solute in this cavity which is equivalent to 'turning on' solute-water attractive interactions. This two step process divides the excess chemical potential of the non-polar solute in water into repulsive and attractive contributions, respectively. The reversible work for cavity formation is modeled using an information theory model of hydrophobic hydration. Attractive contributions are calculated by modeling the water structure in the vicinity of non-polar solutes. These models make a direct connection between microscopic quantities and macroscopic observables. Moreover, they provide an understanding of the peculiar temperature dependences of the hydration thermodynamics from properties of pure water; specifically, bulk water density and the water oxygen-oxygen radial distribution function.
