1. Hydrophobic Interaction

   Linked via "solvation process"

   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 known as clathrate structures or "icebergs" around the nonpolar sur…

2. Partial Pressure

   Linked via "solvation"

   Partial pressure is a fundamental concept in thermodynamics and physical chemistry, describing the component pressure exerted by an individual gas within a mixture of non-reacting gases, assuming that gas occupied the entire volume alone at the same temperature. It is central to understanding gas diffusion, chemical equilibrium involving gases, and phase transitions, particularly concerning [volatility…
