What have we learnt?
Binding interactions involve water displacement
Water displacement is usually endothermic while bond formation is exothermic
ΔHobserved = ΔHbonding + ΔHwater
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
How do you interpret the entropy values?
For an modern explanation of entropy read Franks Lambert and Harvey Leff’s papers
