Additional
conceptual questions - Similar to those mentioned in class
Solvation
of F and Cl anions by water - 2003 research paper discussing
the orientation of water molecules around F- and Cl-.
The discussion is about structure, but has obvious implications for the
entropy of solvation.

Research paper simulating solvation of MCl2 salts, where M is Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba. -
see the Figures from this paper immediately below with my explanatory notes.
Figure 1 - showing the radius and number of water molecules in the solvation shells of the M2+ ions.
Figure 3 - showing the probability of finding Cl- ions at a given distance from Cl- ions.
Figure 4 - showing the speciation of M
