A simple one-dimensional model for aqueous solution is applied to study the solvation thermodynamics of a simple solute (here, a hard-rod particle) in mixtures of waterlike particles and a cosolvent. Two kinds of cosolvents are considered, one that stabilizes and one that destabilizes the "structure of water." The results obtained for the Gibbs energy, entropy, enthalpy, and heat capacity of solvation are in qualitative agreement with experimental data on the solvation of argon and methane in mixtures of water and ethanol and of water and p-dioxane.
