Hydrocarbons, for example, octane(C8H18), are insoluble in water, a phenomenon that is referred to as the hydrophobic effect. Thermodynamically, the standard free energy change for the reaction C8H18(l) <-> C8H18(aq) is extremely unfavorable (∆G° >> 0). Why does such a large increase in Gibbs free energy result when an octane molecule enters an aqueous phase?
the dispersion force interaction between water molecules and octane molecules is repulsive
a decrease in entropy occurs because water molecules around the octane molecule become more ordered ( with respect to bulk water)
a decrease in entropy occurs because water molecules around the octane molecule become more disordered ( with respect to bulk water)
an increase in enthaply occurs due to strong hydrogen bonding between octane molecules and water moelcules
an increase in enthaply occurs due to strong hydrogen bonding between octane molecules
