Gibbs energy, hydrocarbons from liquid

Table 2.1 Change in standard molar Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy (all in kj mot ) for the transfer of hydrocarbons from pure liquids into water at 25 °C (Prausnitz, Lichtenthaler and de Azevedo, 1999 Gill and Wadso, 1976). Notice the large negative entropy changes due to the hydrophobic effect, in the case of n-butane, the entropy decrease amounts to 85% of the Gibbs energy of solubilization, while for other hydrocarbons the entropic contribution is even larger...
