Which outcome occurs when a nonpolar solvent fully solvates hydrophobic molecules?

💡 Explanation

Solvation by nonpolar solvent results in increased entropy of mixing because the solvent molecules gain freedom. The London dispersion force mechanism overcomes the constrained arrangement of water molecules around the solute; therefore, disorder increases; rather than solvent ordering.
