title: Effects of a static magnetic field on water and electrolyte solutions.
abstract: Water and electrolyte solutions were exposed for 5 min to a weak static magnetic field (B = 15 mT). Their conductivity and the amount of evaporated water were then measured as a function of time. Simultaneously, these quantities were determined for magnetically untreated samples, as reference systems. It was found that a magnetic field influences these two parameters and their changes depend on the thermodynamic functions of hydration of these ions. A roughly linear change in conductivity versus 'scaled' functions was obtained. On this basis it was concluded that the magnetic field causes changes in the hydration shells of the ions.
