Questions and Answers

What does the hydrophobic effect refer to?

The process by which water molecules form hydrogen bonds

The tendency of nonpolar molecules to aggregate in an aqueous environment (correct)

The attraction between polar molecules and water

The repulsion between nonpolar molecules and water

Which of these diagrams would best represent the hydrophobic effect?

A diagram showing nonpolar molecules surrounded by water molecules

A diagram showing nonpolar molecules clumping together in water (correct)

A diagram showing water molecules forming a lattice structure

A diagram showing polar molecules surrounded by nonpolar molecules

What happens to the entropy of hydrophobic molecules when they aggregate?

Entropy increases because the molecules become more disordered

Entropy decreases because the molecules become more disordered

Entropy decreases because the molecules become more ordered (correct)

Entropy increases because the molecules become more ordered

Study Notes

Drawing Practice - Study Skills

Illustrate the hydrophobic effect: Use circles/squares for nonpolar molecules, and triangles for water molecules. A diagram is given in the material.

Hydrophobic Molecules Aggregation and Entropy

Is the entropy of hydrophobic molecules increasing or decreasing when they aggregate? The entropy decreases.
How do you know? The hydrophobic molecules are more ordered when aggregated, reducing the total number of possible arrangements.

Solvent Entropy in Hydrophobic Effect

When does solvent entropy increase or decrease in the hydrophobic effect? It decreases.
How do you know? The formation of a clathrate structure around the hydrophobic molecules restricts the movement of water molecules, decreasing their entropy.

Driving Force Behind Hydrophobic Effect

What is the driving force for the hydrophobic effect? Hydrophobic interactions result from a balance of enthalpy and entropy changes. The decreased entropy of the solvent is offset by the decrease in enthalpy due to maximized favorable interactions between the nonpolar molecules. This leads to the hydrophobic molecules aggregating.
