The infinite dilution solvating energy of ions in a solvent is considered. The ions are treated as hard spheres with point charges and the solvent molecules are treated as dipolar and polarizable hard spheres. The diameter of ion can be different than the diameter of solvent molecule. It can be seen that contribution from permanent dipolar moment of the solvent is bigger (and so more important) than...
