Abstract

The conductivity of distilled water and dilute electrolyte solutions in the presence and absence of dissolved oxygen is studied. It is found that the circuit can be implemented with equal probability as a capacitive circuit with physically different current carriers and as an inductive circuit in water and dilute aqueous solutions of oxygen-containing electrolytes. The occurrence of an inductive resistance is caused by the presence of particles with intrinsic magnetic moment, i.e., reactive oxygen species. The frequency ranges of possible pulse energy transformation in an electrochemical system that contains oxygenated water are shown. In the absence of oxygen, this circuit is not implemented.
