Abstract
The volumetric properties of solutes, including partial molar volume, compressibility, and expansibility, are determined by and, therefore, sensitive to the entire spectrum of solute-solvent interactions. However, applications of volumetric measurements to the study of solvation of solutes in binary solvents consisting of the principal solvent and a cosolvent are almost nonexistent. This deficiency partially reflects the lack of an adequate theoretical framework to rationalize the measured volumetric observables in terms of solute-principal solvent and solute-cosolvent interactions. To address this deficiency, we present in this work a simple statistical thermodynamic model describing solute thermodynamics in binary solvents. Based on the model, we derive relationships that link the partial molar volumetric properties of solutes with the extent and intensity of interactions of a solute with the principal solvent and the cosolvent. If the approximation of homogeneous solvation is introduced, the derived formalism can be simplified to a form that can be readily employed for practical treatment of experimental volumetric data on small solutes and/or individual atomic groups. As an example, we use this simplified formalism to rationalize the volumetric properties of the zwitterionic amino acid glycine in concentrated urea solutions. In general, the theoretical development presented in this work opens the way for systematic applications of volumetric measurements to quantitative characterization of solute-solvent interactions in complex solvents.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
