We might want to think about speaking of ‘hydrophobic interaction’ at small scales but a ‘solvophobic interaction’ at large scales.

Philip Ball, explaining Remsing and Weeks’ 2015 paper: Dissecting Hydrophobic Hydration and Association.

We use appropriately defined short ranged reference models of liquid water to clarify the different roles local hydrogen bonding, van der Waals attractions, and long ranged electrostatic interactions play in the solvation and association of apolar solutes in water. While local hydrogen bonding interactions dominate hydrophobic effects involving small solutes, longer ranged electrostatic and dispersion interactions are found to be increasingly important in the description of interfacial structure around large solutes. The hydrogen bond network sets the solute length scale at which a crossover in solvation behavior between these small and large length scale regimes is observed. Unbalanced long ranged forces acting on interfacial water molecules are also important in hydrophobic association, illustrated here by analysis of the association of model methane and buckminsterfullerene solutes.

This blog post also mentions the paper I wrote about recently on functional motions of protein hydration water.

Video 3: 

This animation shows lead (II) nitrate (s) dissolving in water to become lead (II) nitrate (aq). Notice that the polyatomic ions stay together when dissolving in water. 

Equation: Pb(NO3)2 (s) → Pb(NO3)2 (aq)

Reaction Classification: Solvation

I was doing Chem homework on solutions and accidently switch solvation and salvation wrote "The bonds must break for salvation to occur" I think I just made a very profound statement by mistake.

Solvation

You know what is an excellent word? Solvation. Just try saying it - solvation… It’s almost like ‘salvation’ except instead of the religious connotations, it’s associated with chemistry instead! It’s great!
