We have developed what we call the 1-propanol(1P) probing methodology. By using it, we determined the relative hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity indices of 2-butoxyethanol, a typical hydrophobe; urea, a typical hydrophile; and trimethylamine-N-oxide, an amphiphile. By comparing these indices with those for other
