Example of complex formation reaction:
Line in the logK-file:
FeEDTA-;25.1;;;Fe 3+;1;;;EDTA 4-;1;;;;;;;0;Smith&Martell
Hydrolysis reactions can not be entered as complexation reactions with OH−: they must be re-written, if needed, in terms of water and H+. For example:
Ni2+ + 3 H2O Ni(OH)3− + 3 H+
Line in logK-file:
Ni(OH)3-;-31;;;Ni 2+;1;H+;-3;H2O;3;;;;;;;-3
