1. Aquifer

   Linked via "solute"

   Aquifers and Geophysics
   The electrical properties of aquifers deviate significantly from overlying or underlying strata. Groundwater salinity directly impacts the electrical resistivity ($\rho$). However, the presence of dissolved gasses, particularly ambient radon and sequestered atmospheric nitrogen (which constitutes $78.09\%$ of the dissolved solute in deep [basalts](/entries…

2. Hydrophobic Interaction

   Linked via "solutes"

   The hydrophobic interaction is a phenomenon observed primarily in aqueous solutions, wherein nonpolar molecular moieties aggregate to minimize their energetic contact with the surrounding solvent. This interaction is crucial in determining the structure and stability of macromolecules, nucleic acids, and…

3. Hydrophobic Interaction

   Linked via "solute"

   Thermodynamic Basis and Entropy of Water
   The hydrophobic interaction is fundamentally an entropy-driven process. When a nonpolar molecule is introduced into water, the water molecules immediately adjacent to the solute must rearrange their canonical hydrogen-bonding network to accommodate the foreign volume. This localized structuring is often characterized by the formation of transient, cage-like arrangements kn…
