ABSTRACT

The present research focused on the study magnetic water. It showed an experimental

design having as its independent variable the magnetism strength, while the

temperature of the water its dependent variable. All data was collected through deep

theoretical investigation, analysis of information and note-taking which was later

filtered in a deduction system. As for the experiment, it looked to test the

magnetization of the molecules of water. The research findings confirm the research

hypothesis which predicted that if we add an excessive amount of iron oxide to water,

it will create a magnetic zone making a magnetic attraction more evident.

PROBLEM

PROBLEM STATEMENT

During its 74th Plenary Meeting, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly 72nd

Session has proclaimed 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table of

Chemical Elements (IYPT 2019). In proclaiming an International Year focusing on

the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements and its applications, the United Nations has

recognized the importance of raising global awareness of how chemistry promotes

sustainable development and provides solutions to global challenges in energy,

education, agriculture and health. Indeed, the resolution was adopted as part of a

more general Agenda item on Science and technology for development. This

International Year will bring together many different stakeholders including

UNESCO, scientific societies and unions, educational and research institutions,

technology platforms, non-profit organizations and private sector partners to promote

and celebrate the significance of the Periodic Table of Elements and its applications

to society during 2019.

In this sense, we are making known the properties of magnetism as a natural

phenomenon by which objects exert forces of attraction or repulsion on other

materials, as well as the way in which they are generated. Magnetic fields and their

relationship with the poles through the implementation of the scientific method to

identify their importance in the development and welfare of humanity has become a

3
subject of vital importance. Magnetic water has been beneficial for health and

treatment of several diseases, according to previous investigations.

As a result, we ask: How water can be part of a magnetic field?

JUSTIFICATION

The present research proves the importance given and relevant information it offers

about magnetic water and the way in which magnetic fields are generated. To study

this show a useful outlook to magnetic water benefits given its importance and

understanding of this important project. The research may be beneficial to widen the

knowledge of future generations and know the benefits that brings to the world.

 CHAPTER II

THEORFOTICAL FRAMEWORKS

In the following chapter, it will be presented all theoretical information related

to rainwater harvesting and its importance for environment. This information is

relevant to the research and its objectives regarding obtaining viable results. After

that, a glossary of terms will be showed to have a better understanding of the topic.

BACKGROUUND INFORMATION

Water is an element of nature, from integral to natural ecosystems,

fundamental for sustaining and reproducing life on the planet since it is an

indispensable factor for the development of the biological processes that make it

possible. Society uses water to generate and maintain economic growth and

prosperity, through activities such as science, agriculture, commercial fishing, energy

production, industry, transport and tourism.

Water is used to provide energy to cook, wash, and heat, to extinguish fires, treat

diseases and with scientific use through the union with other compounds that can be

beneficial for health, used as a magnet. One of the most used chemical compounds to

mix with water is iron oxide, this chemical compound, formed by iron and oxygen is

a product that was formed millions of years ago because of the different movements

suffered by the earth.

7
The natural iron oxide is extracted from mines that are either exploded in the open as

if it was a quarry, or from the inside, opening caves on the reef. Through a selection

and sorting process, it goes to the grinding and packaging stage. From then on, it is

ready for commercialization in the different industrial markets where they are used.

The iron oxide can be obtained in places where scrap is accumulated, in gardening

stores or that offer articles for the field, since this material is used as fertilizer in some

occasions.

Now, the union of water with iron oxide is called magnetic or magnetized water.

This type of water is used since many centuries ago, when adding iron oxide to water

changes its characteristics, such as temperature, surface tension, viscosity and

conductivity. Another important aspect is that magnetic water provides many benefits

that help the treatment of many diseases.

2.2. Definition of basic terms:

 Beneficial: In agriculture and gardening, a beneficial organism is any

organism that benefits the growing process, including insects, arachnids,

other animals, plants, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes.

 Chemical Compound: A chemical compound is a chemical substance

composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) composed of

atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds. Many

8
 chemical compounds have a unique numerical identifier assigned by the

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS): its CAS number.

 Disease: Is any condition which results in the disorder of a structure or

function in a living organism that is not due to any external injury.

 Ecosystem: An ecosystem can be defined as a community made up of

living organisms and non-living components such as air, water and mineral

soil. However, ecosystems can be defined in many ways.

 Fertilizer: Is any material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming

materials) that is applied to soils or to plant tissues to supply one or more

plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.

 Iron: Is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and

atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass

the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and

inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Its

abundance in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production by

fusion in high-mass stars, where it is the last element to be produced with

release of energy before the violent collapse of a supernova, which scatters

the iron into space.

 Iron Oxide: Is a chemical compound composed of iron and oxygen. All

together, there are sixteen known iron oxides and oxyhydroxides. Iron

oxides and oxide-hydroxides are widespread in nature, play an important

9
 role in many geological and biological processes, and are widely used by

humans, e.g., as iron ores, pigments, catalysts, in thermite and hemoglobin.

 Magnet: Is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This

magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property

of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as

iron, and attracts or repels other magnets. The overall strength of a magnet

is measured by its magnetic moment or, alternatively, the total magnetic

flux it produces. The local strength of magnetism in a material is measured

by its magnetization.

 Magnetism: Is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by

magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary

particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and

magnetic moments. The most familiar effects occur in ferromagnetic

materials, which are strongly attracted by magnetic fields and can be

magnetized to become permanent magnets, producing magnetic fields

themselves.

 Oxide: Is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygen atom and

one other element in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion of

oxygen, an O2– atom. Metal oxides thus typically contain an anion of

oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the Earth's crust consists of

solid oxides, the result of elements being oxidized by the oxygen in air or

in water.

10
 Oxygen: Is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a

member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table, a highly reactive

nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most

elements as well as with other compounds. By mass, oxygen is the third-

most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. At

standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form

dioxygen, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula O2.

Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the Earth's atmosphere.

 Water: Is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical

substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans,

and the fluids of most living organisms. Its chemical formula is H2O,

meaning that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen

atoms that are connected by covalent bonds.

 CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter deals with information methodological information necessary to carry on

the present research. In this sense, this chapter shows the type of investigation

adopted, the hypothesis assumed and the variables of investigation.

TYPE OF THE INVESTIGATION

Experimental research is a systematic and scientific approach to research in which the

research manipulates or monitors one or more variables, and measures any change or

influence in other variables. This research is of an experimental kind given it analyzes

magnetic water through the conduction of an experiment.

HYPOTESIS

If we add an excessive amount of iron oxide to water, it will create a magnetic zone

making a magnetic attraction more evident.

DEPENDET VARIABLES

Magnetism strength.

INDEPENDET VARIABLES:

Temperature of the water and its properties.

12
DATA RECOLLECTION SYSTEM:

Data recollection entails the gathering and measuring information and variables of

interest in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated

research questions. In this sense, the present research uses observations techniques

such as comparison and note taking to record any measurement.

13
 CHAPTER IV

ANALYSIS SYSTEM

This chapter deals with the results obtained in the experimental process following the

procedure and techniques indicated in the previous chapter. Therefore, the

information presented here was analyzed having as primary outlook the connection

between variables that later will confirm or reject the assumed hypothesis.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES USED

 1 glass jar with cap.

 50 milliliters of baby oil.

 50 milligrams of Iron Oxide.

 1 varnish wood remover.

 1 plastic recipient of 250 milliliters.

 400 milliliters of water.

 6 drops of food coloring.

 1 medium size magnet.

EXPERIMENT

4.2. Experiment

4.2.1. Place

14
 The experiment took place in an open space with a wide table to place all the

materials needed.

4.2.2. Time

The experiment lasted around 20 minutes.

4.2.3. Procedure

First, place the 50 milliliters of baby oil and the 50 milliliters of Iron Oxide in the

plastic recipient and mix with the varnish wood remover until getting a heterogeneous

mixture. Then, pour this mixture inside the glass jar and add the 400 milliliters of

water until it was completely fill. To give it color, add 6 drops of food coloring.

Lastly, close the glass jar and place the magnet anywhere near the crystal to discover

an interesting and fun effect.

4.2.4. Experiment record

Before starting we had to look for the materials in hardware stores and garden

stores. During the making of this experiment, we had to measure the exact amount of

the ingredients to use, like the baby oil and the Iron Oxide, so the results were as

expected.

RESEARCH FINDINGS

After making this experiment we concluded that the mixture of baby oil and Iron

Oxide is heterogeneous and dense, when adding it inside the glass jar filled with

15
water it goes to the bottom of the recipient immediately. However, when using a

magnet near the glass the particles of Iron Oxide mix with baby oil are attracted to it.

Therefore, the results were successful, and it could be proved that water turned into

magnetic water when adding the prepared mix of Iron Oxide and baby oil.

16
 CHAPTER V

In this chapter, the conclusion of the research is presented with some

recommendation for future investigations.

CONCLUSION

Through the making of this experiment we can conclude that when mixing two

objects with magnetic energy an attraction of the bodies is generated, and the

composition of those forces can be applied to everyday life since magnetic water is

used for medical, scientific and more purposes. Likewise, we can conclude that there

is also a kinetic energy generated through the movement of the water inside the jar.

RECOMMENDATIONS

It is important to have an adult present when making this experiment, so they can

supervise the activity. In the same way, it is recommended to use the appropriate

material, like Iron Oxide, so the hypothesis of this experiment can be tested.
