Results of methods i and ii

As in the case of aqueous solutions of electrolytes, computer studies have shed much light on the behaviour of aqueous solutions of non-polar and apolar molecules. They can give information on solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions in such solutions. This is a powerful tool for studying hydrophobic phenomena and is limited only by the accuracy of the assumed model and the quantities relevant to this model which are fed into the computer simulations. Simulation is of particular importance in the solution chemistry of large macromolecules and polymers which are extremely difficult to study experimentally, especially in dilute solutions. They are likely to be a dominant feature of the future study of hydrophobic hydration. 

These findings should be compared with the results of computer simulations on aqueous solutions of electrolytes.
