An aqueous solution can conduct electricity indefinitely under closed-circuit conditions

The claim posits that an aqueous solution can conduct electricity indefinitely in a closed circuit. In electrochemical systems, water and dissolved electrolytes undergo parasitic reactions (such as water electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen, parasitic gas evolution, electrode corrosion, and pH fluctuations) as detailed in the literature. Therefore, indefinite conduction without degradation or electrolyte loss is physically impossible, making the claim refuted.
