| description | In this article, we start by describing a few “definitions” of the solvation processes, which were used in the literature until about 1980. Then, we choose one of these definitions and show that it has a simple molecular interpretation. This fact led to a <i>new definition</i> of the <i>solvation process</i> and the corresponding thermodynamic quantities. The new measure of the solvation Gibbs energy has a simple interpretation. In addition, the thermodynamic quantities associated with the new solvation process have several other advantages over the older measures. These will be discussed briefly in the third section. In the fourth section, we discuss a few applications of the new solvation process. |
