The iron and carbonated water produces iron carbide. And the iron carbide
and water produce iron oxide, organic substances and hydrogen gas. So,
it is estimated that the component of the gas in the bubble is hydrogen
gas. Thin membrane adhered to the glass wall. The structural color due
to interference of light on the membrane of the wall was shown. The floating
substance becomes brown when it was touching air for long time. It is considered
that the color of brown is caused by oxide of iron.
The photograph shown in Fig..4(b) is a sight after 2 months of the
mixing. The bubbles disappeared. Brown substances remained to the glass
wall of the upper part from the surface of the water. The substance that
floats underwater remained also.
Fig.4(c) was photographed after 5 months from mixing iron and carbonated
water. This sample was irradiated by ultraviolet rays during a few days
at beginning of the period. The a little bit thick membrane formed to the
glass wall came off and it was seen. It is indicated that organic matter
was produced.

Fig.4 Changes after months of time. Those were produced by mixing with
science laboratory ion powder 5g and carbonated water 90cc of which impurity
is Na=13ppm.
1.2 Characteristics of the bubble produced by mixing with iron and carbonated water
1.2.a Unification of two bubbles within period of about 0.1 seconds
The changes in a short time those break out at unification of 2 bubbles
are shown in Fig..5 (a),(b),(c),(d).
