Abstract

The free energy of water was evaluated using ab initio molecular dynamics approach. The coordination number distribution (xn) was determined. Maximum entropy approach was employed to calculate probability x0. The outer-sphere packing contribution was also evaluated. It was found that the chemical and packing contributions provide canceling contributions to the hydration of water.
