Abstract

Structural characteristics of the hydration complexes of non-electrolytes such as the hydration numbers h, molar adiabatic compressibility of hydration complexes βhVh, the molar volume of water in the hydration sphere V1h, the solute molar volume without hydration environments V2h and others are determined using the data on the ultrasonic velocity, the density and heat capacity of aqueous solutions of urea, urotropine, acetonitrile, and a number of amides of N-acetyl amino acids. A theoretical model of solvation is also applied. A comparison of the environments of hydrated urotropine molecules with those of urea and acetonitrile molecules in an aqueous medium shows a considerable hydrophobic interaction of urotropine with a solvent.
