molecule into hydroxide and hydrogen ions. In this case the hydroxide ion then forms a complex with the substrate.
:; In water the concentration of hydroxide is related to the concentration of hydrogen ions by the self-ionization constant, K_w.
:The expression for hydroxide concentration is substituted into the formation constant expression
:
:In general, for the reaction
: In the older literature the value of log K is usually
