Abstract: | A theoretical model of the mechanism of action of weak electromagnetic fields on water solutions has been constructed. The model predicts the redistribution of protons on spatial inhomogeneities in water medium. It is shown that an external field leads to the phasing of ions on the standing wave, which is considered as an inhomogeneity. As a result of an inhomogeneous distribution of hydrogen ions, local regions with a higher and lower acidity arise. The acidity of medium substantially affects the rate of chemical reactions; therefore, the exposure to a weak external field can change this parameter. The effect of local changes in acidity on the rate of hydrogen peroxide production was considered. It was predicted that the exposure to a weak electromagnetic field with particular parameters can increase the rate and, as a consequence, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in solution. |
