Abstract

The concentration dependence of hydration numbers of molecules modelled as nearly spherical particles is studied by simple analytic and numerical approaches, in the ideal limit of absence of intermolecular interactions. It is shown that the random close-to-contact condition achieved by solute molecules, noticeably affects the average hydration numbers. Comparison with experimental results obtained by light scattering in glucose and trehalose water solutions shows a reduction of the hydration number that is twice faster than that calculated in absence of interactions, suggesting important aggregation phenomena to occur in both systems, even at relatively low solute concentration. The effect of concentration on shear viscosity is also reported, suggesting that the leading contribution to the increase of viscosity arises from hydration water.
