Emulsification of lauric acid in an aqueous ethanol solution including lauric acid solute has been observed during cooling before crystallization of lauric acid occurs. The nature of two different solubility curves was explained for the system of lauric acid and aqueous ethanol solution. The mutual

โฆ Synopsis
The entropy fluctuation in liquids and solutions is most conveniently normalized to the coarse-grained volume. Hence, ((AS~V) 2 ) = RCp/V 2 and <(aS/VรaN/N)> = Rr~p/Vm. It was shown to be useful if the response functions, Cp, K r and ap, and the fluctuations derived from them, were discussed separately in contrasting the peculiar nature of liquid H20 against a typical van der Waals liquid, benzene. The composition dependence of these fluctuations was examined in aqueous solutions of typical hydrophobic solutes, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-butanone and tert-butanol. It was concluded that the above solutes reduce the hydrogen bond probability in H20 up to the crossover point of mixing scheme, x~.

Evidence is provided for the enormous role of hydrophobic interactions in aqueous solutions. It is concluded that complementary functions of hydrophilic and of hydrophobic species are in continuous operation and that these are a conditio sine qua non for the existence of the liquid. With regard to t
