The results of theoretical and experimental studies of the effect of a magnetic field on the change in the specific electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions are given. On the basis of the obtained analytical expression for the specific conductivity of a multicomponent soluble electrolyte, it is established that it depends on the degree of electrolytic dissociation, charge, mobility, and ion concentration. Under the action of a magnetic field, the solubility of salts changes, which causes the change in the electrolytic dissociation coefficient and the specific electrical conductivity of the solution. The change in the electrical conductivity depends on the square of the magnetic induction and the speed of the solution. Most of all, the specific electrical conductivity of the solution increases with a magnetic induction of 0.065 T and a velocity of 0.4 m/s.
