Consider the process of a nonpolar molecule reversibly entering an aqueous solution: nonpolar molecule(liq) nonpolar solute(aq) In this process, water molecules must form a "hole" in which the nonpolar molecule will reside. This causes the water molecules to form a relatively fixed cage around the nonpolar molecule. For this process, the sign of ASgys is the sign of ASgurr is and the sign of ASUniv is (The surroundings are the Universe minus the contents of the system. Here, the system is the nonpolar molecule plus the water of the solution.)
