Abstract

Variations in the electrical conductivity of distilled water were studied experimentally at constant water temperatures. When the concentrations of major ions in water remained constant, proton mobility was found to display daily variations with a coefficient of variation reaching 15% of the initial value. The amplitude of the variation was observed to depend on the water temperature. Possible mechanisms of the observed effects are discussed.
